I'm an intern hoping to do neonatology in the future.
Can anyone recommend a good source for neonatal ventiator management...I want to learn more but I will probably need to start with the "basics."

You will learn the basics at the bedside, although if you really want a reference, you can go to Up-to-Date and look up the articles there on neonatal ventilation.

But, my real recommendation is that you go to pubmed and look up any of a series of articles written recently by M. Keszler at Georgetown on volume guarantee ventilation and also look up a few recent reviews on oscillators. Textbooks are a bit behind on this (which is why in general Up-to-Date is better for this sort of thing), but volume guarantee is important to learn - it isn't a "basic", but you'll learn a lot from reading one or two of these articles by Keszler and then discussing them with one of the neos at your institution.

Doc-Hollywood, can you please tell how you found your current job? I think I read that you are a member of a 5 person private group that you really like.
