Applied Neonatal Physiology
This is the foundational neonatal unit of study. The purpose of this unit is to develop students’ understanding of fetal, neonatal and maternal physiology and pathophysiology, and to apply this theory to practice. An overview of embryological, fetal and neonatal growth and development is provided. Students are also guided through the processes of neonatal transition and adaptation. The concepts of oxygenation, thermoregulation and metabolism are discussed in relation to maternal and neonatal health in the early newborn period. These concepts underpin the neonatal clinician’s ability to provide evidence based neonatal care.
