Help your students learn the principles and skills of respiratory care for neonates, infants, and children! Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care, 7th Edition, provides a solid foundation in the assessment and treatment of respiratory disorders in children. Clear, full-color coverage simplifies the concepts of respiratory care while emphasizing clinical application. Reflecting the changing face of the profession, this edition unpacks care strategies with coverage of the newest treatment algorithms, surgical interventions, mechanical ventilation techniques, and more. This text features updated questions that align with changes to the NBRC Neonatal Pediatric Specialty examination, making it an essential preparation tool for certification success.
    • NEW! Updated questions to reflect the revised 2026 NBRC exam
    • NEW! Additional treatment algorithms in relevant chapters
    • NEW! Updated questions to reflect the revised 2026 NBRC® exam
    • NEW! Additional treatment algorithms in relevant chapters
    • Authoritative, evidence-based content includes both theory and application, with an emphasis on an entry-level BS degree
    • Logical, easy-to-use organization divides the content into three sections: 1) Neonatal, 2) Pediatrics, and 3) Neonatal and Pediatric combined, mirroring the academic approach of most respiratory care programs
    • Nearly 500 full-color illustrations — plus tables and graphs — make it easier to understand key concepts
    • Complete test preparation is provided through coverage of all the topics in the matrix for the current NBRC neonatal/pediatric specialty (NPS) credentialing exam
    • Assessment Questions at the end of each chapter are written in the NBRC multiple-choice style as found on the NPS exam, with answers on the Evolve website
    • Case studies for neonatal and pediatric disorders include a brief patient history and questions for each, showing how concepts apply to the more difficult areas of care
    • Learning Objectives in each chapter break down key content into measurable behaviors, criteria, and conditions
    • Key Points bullets summarize the more important information in each chapter
    • Glossary makes it easy to find definitions of key terminology
