Description
|
| This is a comprehensive book reviewing aspects of neonatal intensive care from birth to discharge, and beyond. The chapters are well-organized, with key points highlighted and helpful case scenarios at the end of many sections. The previous edition was published in 2020. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| The purpose of this book is to provide a concise yet comprehensive reference text for those learning, training, or practicing in neonatal medicine. With an overwhelming number of existing reference texts, manuals, and journal articles, there is a need for streamlined knowledge. This book compiles critical information regarding neonatal intensive care into a single accessible text, which is clinically relevant. The book successfully reviews a number of neonatal conditions and treatment strategies in a comprehensive manner, while still maintaining a relatively short and exceptionally readable text. |
|
|
Audience
|
| This book's primary audience is students, trainees, nurses, and practitioners in the neonatal intensive care unit. The book seeks to cover "all aspects of high-risk neonatal care," which it does in an accessible and clinically relevant manner. The book is especially beneficial for students or trainees who may be newer to the field of neonatal medicine, as it introduces many highly relevant topics in an accessible manner. Seasoned clinicians will appreciate the concise formatting, updated references with recent literature, and highlighted guidelines and recommendations throughout. Authors are known researchers and clinicians in the field of neonatal medicine, affiliated with top children's hospitals throughout the United States and Canada. |
|
|
Features
|
| This book reviews aspects of neonatal care including prenatal and antepartum considerations, resuscitation and stabilization of newborns, and diagnosis and management of a broad range of neonatal conditions. It offers an integrated approach to neonatal care, with chapters emphasizing parental support, developmental care, and quality of care and outcomes for neonatal patients. The chapters progress logically and are divided into subsections to allow readers to find specific topics quickly. The text is exceedingly readable, with tables, diagrams and images utilized to highlight key points. Additionally, editorial comments draw attention to important considerations or the most updated literature available on a given topic. Cases at the end of many chapters emphasize important concepts. While the accessibility of the text makes it appealing to trainees and novices in the neonatal intensive care unit, even seasoned clinicians may benefit from the concise yet comprehensive nature of this book. Because the book is not overly lengthy, each neonatal condition is not reviewed in as extensive detail as many other reference texts. This serves to increase its appeal to a general audience seeking to gain a breadth of knowledge regarding high-risk neonatal care. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| This book provides an excellent overview of high-risk neonatal care for learners and trainees, with updated references and recommendations to benefit practitioners in the neonatal intensive care unit. There are few texts that manage to cover such a broad range of topics as comprehensively and succinctly as this title. The new edition contains the most current evidence, changes in outcomes, and expansion of several highly relevant topics. This book is an ideal resource for medical students and residents rotating in the NICU, neonatal nurse practitioner students, and trainees in neonatal medicine. |
