For more than two decades, Neonatology has been the field's go-to guide for practical, up-to-date, and readily-accessible information on basic and advanced management techniques for the neonate. Featuring a logical outline approach that highlights essential information, this quick reference covers everything you need to know about on-call neonatal problems, procedures, diseases and disorders, and pharmacology.
Key Features
- The On-Call Problems section presents more than 30 common and serious patient management issues and provides guidelines for rapid diagnosis and treatment -- covering everything from Abnormal Blood Gas to Vasospasms.
- Extensively revised Pharmacology section features one of the most comprehensive lists of medications available in any manual.
- New chapters include coverage of Newborn Screening, Blood Component Therapy, Management of the Late Preterm, and Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapies.
- Additions to the Appendix include an updated blood pressure table, new growth charts, and isolation guideline table.
