Simulated Neonate arrives in cardiac catheter suite

The major focus of this module is the development of enhanced nursing practice in paediatric intensive care.

Overview

This module aims to develop enhanced nursing practice in the paediatric intensive care environment.

Through systematic assessment of the mechanically ventilated child, and the application of essential physiology to the assessment, the practitioner will develop informed decision-making skills regarding the therapeutic management of respiratory support, the weaning of mechanical ventilation and the possible extubation of the child.

On successful completion of this module the practitioner will be able to manage a ventilated child or young person autonomously within the guidelines of the employing Trust. The learner will examine the professional and legal responsibilities of performing extended roles.
