Course Description:
The Advanced Certificate in Neonatal Critical Care is a specialized training course designed to introduce healthcare professionals like you to various aspects of neonatal critical care. A newborn baby, particularly if premature, can bring a specific set of challenges that require a high level of skill and medical expertise. Neonatologists have a vital role in caring for such neonates and are the first line of support for high-risk births.

Neonatal intensive care units provide high quality skilled care to critically ill neonates by providing facilities for continuous clinical, biochemical, and radiological monitoring, as well as the use of life-support systems, with the goal of improving their survival. The NICUs are classified into several types depending on the facilities. The clinical condition of the neonates decides the choice of care.

The course on Advanced Certificate in Neonatal Critical Care covers the types of neonatal intensive care units, the monitoring methods for assessment of cardiorespiratory function, and the specific treatment protocols required for distinct medical conditions. The course also enables medical professionals to handle serious concerns within the “Golden Hour” apart from managing respiratory, cardiovascular, and CNS issues in the newborn. It also describes the assessment and transport of sick neonates, resuscitation algorithms, and the management of neonatal jaundice and liver disease.

Upon completing the course, you will be awarded with the Advanced Certificate in Neonatal Critical Care and equip with the necessary skills to provide high-quality and comprehensive care to critically ill neonates, improving their chances of survival and long-term health outcomes.
