Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care

Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care, 6th Edition, authored by Brian K. Walsh and published by Saunders, is a practical textbook designed for clinical instruction in pediatric cardiopulmonary care. The volume establishes foundational principles for evaluating and managing infant and pediatric respiratory conditions.

The material covers core clinical themes, including neonatal respiratory care, pediatric respiratory disorders, mechanical ventilation technologies, and procedural treatment algorithms. Each thematic area connects theoretical concepts to bedside interventions and reflects the content specifications of the 2020 NBRC Neonatal/Pediatric Specialty credentialing exam matrix.

Instruction is divided into three distinct section areas focusing on Neonatal topics, Pediatrics, and combined Neonatal and Pediatric care. This structural arrangement helps students systematically master specialized concepts and navigate complex clinical scenarios across early patient developmental stages.
