Neonatal ventilation basics focuses on the principles of mechanical ventilation for neonates. It discusses tidal volume ventilation and the differences between anatomical and alveolar dead space. It notes that the neonatal dead space is typically 2.5-3ml/kg. The document also covers the respiratory motion equation, time constants, gestational ages of viability, basic principles of mechanical ventilation including modes of ventilation, commonly used modes on certain ventilators, principles and practical points of HFOV, and NIV options like bipap and HFNC.
