Content
The fifth edition of this highly successful and well-regarded book has been extensively updated and revised, and continues to provide the busy paediatrician or nurse working in neonatal intensive care units with precise instructions on the diagnosis and management of common neonatal problems. As in previous editions, the book provides background physiology with key references and diagrams. It is unique in style, providing guidance with reasoning in a clear, readable style, rather than merely a book of lists. Several new chapters have been added, including the subjects of foetal medicine, antenatal diagnosis, and obstetrics for the neonatologist. The book has been improved by the introduction of more easy-to-digest lists, as well as evidence-based medicine.The text has been made more internationally-applicable, including a re-focus of the chapter on organization of neonatal care to concentrate on reasons for admitting a baby to the intensive care ward, rather than UK-specific admission criteria. A Manual for Neonatal Intensive Care provides invaluable guidance for trainees in paediatrics, neonatology and neonatal nursing and forms a useful ready-reference for the practising paediatrician and nurse. Features     Provides concise, up-to-date information in an accessible style on all aspects of neonatal intensive care     Introduces evidence-based medicine to enable readers to evaluate the advice given     Emphasizes international relevance     Includes key points in boxes to aid in rapid assimilation of information CONTENTS Epidemiology and neonatal outcomes Epidemiology: definitions in perinatal medicine Neonatal outcomes References Further reading Web links Organization of neonatal care Organization of neonatal care: definition of levels of care Provision of intensive care facilities References Clinical governance, risk management and legal aspects of neonatal practice Clinical Governance Serious untoward incident (SUI) reporting and investigation Medical negligence Consent Death Further reading Maternal-fetal medicine for the neonatologist Prenatal diagnosis of fetal disease Maternal conditions affecting the fetus Hypertension in pregnancy Multiple pregnancy Immunological conditions Placental insufficiency Preterm membrane rupture Prelabour rupture of the membranes at term Induction of labour Intrapartum monitoring Mode of delivery Further information Further reading Genetic disease Good ‘handles’ for genetic diagnosis Further reading Web links Neonatal resuscitation and stabilization Physiological adaptation at birth Neonatal resuscitation Resuscitation equipment Practice of neonatal resuscitation Special situations in neonatal resuscitation Problems with resuscitation First-hour care after resuscitation References Further reading Nursing, monitoring and transport of the sick neonate Thermal control Minimal handling Monitoring Clinical and laboratory monitoring References Physical examination of the newborn Timing of the examination Physical examination of the newborn References Further reading Congenital anomalies and common postnatal problems Common findings in day-to-day practice Reference Further reading Web link Fluid and electrolyte balance Neonatal renal function and physiology Water Sodium Potassium Hydrogen ions and bicarbonate Calcium and phosphate Magnesium Practical fluid and electrolyte management References Further reading Neonatal enteral nutrition Infant nutrient requirements Which milk to give?
