Advances in respiratory care over the past years have made a significant impact on the health and well-being of infants, children, and their families. Designed to be the primary text for the 'Neonatal and Pediatric' course as part of the respiratory care core curriculum, Foundations in Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care provides students and practitioners alike with a comprehensive yet reader-friendly resource.

This text has contributions in each chapter by national experts who are actively practicing in their subject areas, providing the most relevant evidence-based material and content that has a significant and practical application to current practice.
