Access expert coverage of all aspects of neonatal pulmonary care—including complications, nutrition, transport, outcomes, follow-up, and parental education. Sharpen your diagnostic and clinical skills with case studies drawn from actual patients. Find k...
New Therapies for Neonatal Respiratory Failure
The diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems in the newborn have advanced significantly over recent years, although respiratory failure remains an important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of respiratory physiology in the newborn, and of the mechanism underlying respiratory failure in this age group. It goes on to present in detail the techniques, both novel and well established, for effective ventilatory support. In presenting and evaluating the available treatment modalities, the authors consider not only clinical indications, modes of delivery and monitoring, but also complications and outcomes. Comprehensive and up to date, this is an essential handbook and reference for clinicians in neonatal medicine, that will help to optimise their management of respiratory failure in the newborn.
New Developments in Blood Transfusion Research
Although blood transfusion saves lives and reduces morbidities in many clinical diseases and conditions, it is associated with certain risks. A transfusion-related adverse event, also called transfusion reaction, is any unfavourable event occurring in a patient during or after blood transfusion. About 0.5 per cent to 3 per cent of all transfusions result in some adverse events, but the majority of them are minor reactions with no significant consequences. In general, transfusion-related adverse events are categorised as infectious and non-infectious. However, there are other classifications in the literature based on time of occurrence (i.e. acute versus delayed) or physiological mechanism (i.e. immune mediated versus non-immune mediated). A significant proportion of adverse events may occur as a result of errors in preparation, ordering or administration of blood and blood products. This book contains the latest research in this essential field which has been revolutionised in recent decades.

Pediatric and Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation
Written by outstanding authorities from all over the world, this comprehensive new textbook on pediatric and neonatal ventilation puts the focus on the effective delivery of respiratory support to children, infants and newborns. In the early chapters, developmental issues concerning the respiratory system are considered, physiological and mechanical principles are introduced and airway management and conventional and alternative ventilation techniques are discussed. Thereafter, the rational use of mechanical ventilation in various pediatric and neonatal pathologies is explained, with the emphasis on a practical step-by-step approach. Respiratory monitoring and safety issues in ventilated patients are considered in detail, and many other topics of interest to the bedside clinician are covered, including the ethics of withdrawal of respiratory support and educational issues. Throughout, the text is complemented by numerous illustrations and key information is clearly summarized in tables and lists.
