Written by medical experts in newborn medicine from Harvard and other noteworthy institutions in America, Manual Of Neonatal Care has been thoroughly updated, and revised to include the latest findings of medical research in the fields of neonatal, perinatal, and fetal care that have taken place since the 6th edition. Summary Of The Book Manual Of Neonatal Care, published in 2012, is an exhaustive medical book on neonatology that talks about the modern approach to newborn care right from the prenatal and fetal stage, to the immediate postnatal and infancy stage. Within the vast volume of this book, the numerous routine and complex conditions or disorders that could be associated with the fetus and the newborn have been discussed. Their management and treatment (based on recommendations of specialists) in all of these stages are discussed. These have been dealt with, chapter wise, to include Respiratory, Bone Conditions, Hematologic, Auditory and Ophthalmologic, Cardiovascular, and Neurologic Disorders, Dermatology, Sexual Development, Metabolism, and Infectious diseases. Detailed appendices are included on: the use of maternal medication during lactation, common NICU medication guidelines, and the effects of maternal drugs on the fetus. The use of algorithms to present practical solutions and recommendations, and online access to the book’s complete contents are some unique features of this edition. Manual Of Neonatal Care is highly practical and current in its approach and includes contemporary practices as seen in high volume clinical services including new guidelines for Intubation Sedation and Neonatal Resuscitation.
