Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized unit that provides intensive medical attention to newborns, especially premature and severely ill babies. Coursera's NICU skill catalogue educates you about the critical care principles and protocols needed to treat vulnerable neonates. You'll learn about the nuances of neonatal physiology, early diagnosis and management of neonatal disorders, respiratory and nutritional support for preterm newborns, to name a few. Furthermore, you'll gain insights into family-centered care, legal and ethical considerations in neonatal care, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the NICU setting. This knowledge will equip you in playing an integral role in improving neonatal health outcomes.
