Fanaroff and Martin's Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine 9th Edition (Expert Consult Series) 2 Volume Set

The foundation for successful outcomes in neonatal-perinatal medicine has been the ability to apply knowledge of the fundamental pathophysiology of the various neonatal disorders to safe interventions. Molecular, biologic, and technologic advances have facilitated the diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy of these complex disorders. Advances at the bench have been transformed to the bedside, and survival statistics reveal steady improvements. Nonetheless, although the survival rates may give reason to rejoice, the high early morbidity and persistent neurodevelopmental problems remain cause for concern. Such problems include bronchopulmonary dysplasia, nosocomial infections, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, and the inability to sustain the intrauterine rate of growth when the infants are born prematurely. These problems need to be addressed in addition to the complex birth defects and genetic disorders that now loom as major problems in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The field of Neonatal Perinatal Medicine has transformed from anecdotal medicine to evidence-based medicine. The problem is that evidence-based medicine predicts outcomes for groups but not individuals. The next frontier, individualized, or personalized medicine, requires application of the human genome project to the individual patient. That frontier is gaining momentum amidst a dizzying proliferation of newly acquired scientific knowledge. The translation of bench research to bedside innovation is proceeding smoothly as is the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of many disorders. Advances in genetics have helped solve the etiology of many disorders, and many previously mysterious diseases can now be attributed to mitochondrial disorders accompanied by cellular energy failure. We have also attempted to address these advances.

With the combination of print and electronic journals, the effort to stay current in a single subspecialty remains a daunting task. Indeed, presenting the current status of the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine, even in a two-volume textbook, has become extremely challenging. It is a tribute to the contributors to Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine that this text has reached its ninth edition. We are profoundly grateful to both our loyal and our new contributors who give so freely of their time and knowledge.

For this ninth edition, we have added several new sections ranging from problems of the late preterm infant to fetal origins of adult disease. We have, in addition, completely reorganized and rewritten a large number of chapters and significantly updated the rest. Our accomplished authors and careful editing continue to focus on the biologic basis of developmental disorders and evidence basis for their management. We have also increasingly sought to draw upon international leaders in the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine to provide a truly global perspective.

This book would not exist without the remarkable clinical and intellectual environment that constitutes Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland. On a daily basis, we gain knowledge from our faculty colleagues and fellows, and wisdom from our nursing staff, who are so committed to their young patients. Once again, we have been blessed with an in-house editor, Bonnie Siner, to whom we cannot adequately express our thanks. She is the glue behind the binding in the book and has worked tirelessly with Elsevier staff members to bring this project to fruition. Elsevier has once again provided the resources to accomplish this mammoth task.

Goldsmith: Assisted Ventilation of the Neonate 5th edition (Expert Consult Series)

The first edition of the textbook, Assisted Ventilation of the Neonate, edited by J.P. Goldsmith and E.H. Karotkin, was published in 1981 and quickly became the standard reference in this field and an excellent resource for health care providers to acquire new knowledge and technique in treating neonates in respiratory failure. Publication of the second, third, and fourth editions attests to the excellent quality and usefulness of this text for neonatologists and their teams and the rapidly changing technology that was updated with each edition. 

The book contains excellent guidelines for assisted ventilation, with up-to-date descriptions of bedside methodologies and the rationale for providing all types of ventilatory care in sick and tiny infants. The book has also always included chapters that deal with the associated medical and nursing management of babies receiving ventilatory assistance such as nutrition, pharmacologic adjuncts, and cardiovascular care. The fifth edition continues the outstanding efforts by Drs. Goldsmith and Karotkin in maintaining the contributions by well-respected authors and expands the book to include a number of new and pertinent chapters related to the use of assisted ventilation of the neonate. 

New chapters include “Quality Improvement in Respiratory Care,” “Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia,” and “Human Factors and Safety in Ventilator Management.” As the quality of neonatal care continues to improve in developing countries, the editors have also added a new chapter, “Neonatal Ventilation in Under-Resourced Settings.” This chapter will prove very useful in further advancing efforts to lower the neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide.

The editors should be congratulated for their outstanding contribution in the field of respiratory care of neonates. It is hoped their efforts will result in improved mortality rates and quality of survivors who require this highly intensive therapy.

Neonatal Cranial Ultrasonography: Guidelines for the Procedure and Atlas of Normal Ultrasound Anatomy

Cranial ultrasonography (CUS) was introduced into neonatology in the late 1970s and has become an essential diagnostic tool in modern neonatology. The non-invasive nature of ultrasonography makes it an ideal imaging technique in the neonate. In the neonate and young infant, the fontanels and many sutures of the skull are still open, and these can be used as acoustic windows to “look” into the brain. Transfontanellar CUS allows the use of high-frequency transducers, with high near-field resolution.

As a result of ongoing development in ultrasonography, image quality is high nowadays, provided optimal settings and techniques are applied. Therefore, CUS is a reliable tool for detecting congenital and acquired anomalies of the perinatal brain and the most frequently occurring patterns of brain injury in both preterm and full-term neonates.

This book is a practical guide to neonatal cranial ultrasonography. The first part describes how to perform a standard, good-quality CUS procedure, using the anterior fontanel as an acoustic window. It continues with the application of supplemental acoustic windows (i.e. posterior fontanel, mastoid fontanels and the temporal windows). Recommendations are given on the timing of CUS examinations and on additional neuroimaging (MRI).

The second part of the book deals with the normal anatomy of the neonatal brain as depicted by CUS. This is demonstrated using normal CUS images in different planes, obtained from different acoustic windows.

Although, in order to clarify some topics, examples of abnormal CUS images are shown, the focus of this book is on the normal ultrasound anatomy of the neonatal brain and on how to perform a good-quality CUS examination. A systematic review of congenital and acquired anomalies of the neonatal brain as depicted by CUS is beyond the scope of this book. Recommendations are given for further reading on these subjects. Doppler and colour Doppler imaging are briefly mentioned; for more detailed information, the reader is referred to an earlier book on this subject (Couture and Veyrac 2001).

The current book refers to some of the available literature on the subject of CUS, but it does not strive to give a complete overview of the literature. All ultrasound images were performed at the neonatal unit of the Leiden University Medical Center by the author of this book or one of her collegues, using an Aloka 5500 or Alpha 10 Ultrasound system. The ultrasound images shown in this book are normal and age-appropriate unless stated otherwise. The MRI examinations were performed at the department of neuroradiology of the Leiden University Medical Center, using Philips 1.5 or 3 Tesla MR systems.

Klaus & Fanaroff Care of the High-Risk Neonate 5th Edition

Remarkably it has been 27 years since the first edition of Care of the High-Risk Neonate was published. Great strides have been taken in the care of high-risk infants, and the outcome for the most complex neonatal disorders is more favorable. Survival rates for even the most immature infants have improved enormously; however, the severe morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental handicaps among this population remain a major concern. The foundations for the practice of evidence-based neonatology have been laid by a large number of multicenter, randomized trials. Meta-analyses and summation of these trials in the Cochrane Database and other contemporaneous publications assist the practitioners in formulating their care pathways and help ensure the best possible outcomes.

To incorporate the major advances that have occurred since the fourth edition as well as to view the field of neonatal-perinatal medicine in a critical fashion, all the chapters of this fifth edition have un-

dergcne significant reVISIOn. We are pleased to once again welcome several new contributors. One third of the chapters have been rewritten by new contributors who have diligently adhered to the basic format but presented a host of new ideas, fresh approaches, and differing views.

New information is presented in the form of text, critical comments, case problems, or simple questions. Overall, our objective has remained the same: to stimulate the readers and to provide a sound physiologic and experimental basis for perinatal care.

We have been most gratified to learn that this book continues to serve as a guide and companion for neonatal health care providers in many parts of the world.

Our task of completing this fifth edition has been most pleasurable because of the expert editorial assistance provided by Bonnie Siner and Dolores Meloni at W.B. Saunders. We are deeply indebted to them as well as to the many contributors and commenters.
