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.
Term : JULY
Hours of Study: 150
Credit Points : 6
Theme 1: Embryonic and fetal development
Examine homeostasis, and models of behavioural organisation and development in the neonatal care context.
Theme 2: Antenatal considerations
Evaluate the impact of psychosocial assessment, on the provision of culturally safe and respectful antenatal care for vulnerable families.
Theme 3: Transition from fetus to neonate
- Distinguish between normal and altered embryonic and fetal development, transition and adaptation
- Analyse the relationship between maternal and neonatal health outcomes
- Appraise the specialist knowledge and contemporary literature relating to pregnancy and birth physiology and pathophysiology
