About this book
This comprehensive book thoroughly addresses common clinical challenges in newborns, providing an evidence-based, step-by-step approach for their diagnosis and management. Common Problems in the Newborn Nursery is designed to be an easy-to-use, practical guide, covering a full range of clinical dilemmas: bacterial and viral infections, jaundice, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, nursery arrhythmia, developmental dysplasia of the hips, newborn feeding, cardiac problems, late preterm infants, dermatology, anemia, birth injuries, ocular issues, as well as hearing assessments in the newborn.
Written by experts in their fields, each chapter begins with a clinical case presentation, followed by a discussion of potential treatment and management decisions and various differential diagnosis. Correct responses will then be explained and supported by evidence-based literature, teaching readers how to discern the normal from the abnormal, the emergent from the non-emergent, and how to make decisions concerning diagnosis encountered on a daily basis.While this guide is directed towards health care providers such as pediatricians, primary care physicians, and nurse practitioners who treat newborns in the general nursery, this book will also serve as a useful resource for anyone interested in working with this vulnerable patient population, from nursing and medical students, to nurses, and residents in pediatrics or family practice.
Reviews
“The newborn nursery is the first opportunity in nine months that we have to screen directly for an enormous number of critically important conditions before they become problematic. … I am always looking for more, butthere are a good number of diagrams and tabular information in other chapters as well. … I've already ordered copies for trainees and our nurse practitioner team. I'd suggest you do the same.” (John Zupancic, Perinatal Section News, 2019)
“The authors of this text review in a very didactic manner the major problems encountered in newborns. Each chapter has an introductory patient presentation, discussions of possible problems and advise for therapy. Each chapter has conclusions in the form of ‘Clinical Pearls’ and many references. In few chapters there are helpful color illustrations.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 16 (01), March, 2019)
