Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care

by Steven M. Donn (Editor), Sunil K. Sinha (Editor)

Overview

The latest edition of this popular book covers the “how-to” of respiratory care of newborns. Chapters from the previous edition have been updated to reflect advances in both equipment and practice, while newer chapters reflect the evolving worldwide approaches to neonatal respiratory failure, such as sustained inflation, optimization of lung volume, and the use of volumetric capnography, aerosol therapy, and management of chylothorax. New additions to the book also include chapters on assessment of large data bases, implementation of quality improvement programs in neonatal respiratory care, chronic ventilation of the baby with non-respiratory failure. The text also features case studies for self-review and is illustrated with high quality radiographic images, figures, tables, and algorithms. 

Written and edited by international experts, the Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care, Fourth Edition is a thorough update and remains a convenient source of practical information on respiratory physiology, exam techniques, tips for performing procedures, radiography, ventilation, pain management, transport, and discharge planning.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Maradith L Skalak, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine)
Description: This book is a comprehensive guide to respiratory care of the neonate, covering topics ranging from fetal lung development to specific types of ventilators. The book is written in outline format, with an abundance of tables, diagrams, and images for reference. The fifth edition of this manual expands on the use of non-invasive ventilation strategies in neonates, which has become more widely utilized since the previous edition was published in 2017.
Purpose: The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of neonatal respiratory physiology, pathophysiology, and management strategies with "heightened attention toward the principles of evidence-based medicine and quality improvement." The objective to provide a reference for caretakers of this vulnerable population is worthwhile, as proper management of sick neonates has lifelong implications. The book meets its objectives by reviewing neonatal pulmonary physiology, pathophysiology, and management strategies with a systematic and thorough approach.
Audience: This book is meant to be a guide for all healthcare practitioners involved in the care of neonates, including students, nurses, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, and physicians. It would be especially helpful for residents or fellows in the neonatal intensive care unit as its short chapters allow for a quick overview of many selected topics. Respiratory therapists may find this manual particularly useful as ventilation strategies in the neonate vary significantly from the adult population. The authors are well-known contributors to the field of neonatology and have utilized expertise from around the world to provide the most up-to-date and relevant information for healthcare providers.
Features: This book is divided into 15 sections, each highlighting a different aspect of neonatal respiratory care. Beginning with a review of normal and abnormal lung development, pulmonary physiology, and lung mechanics builds a base of knowledge for the readers to apply the concepts and principles discussed in subsequent chapters. In addition to reviewing strategies for invasive and non-invasive ventilatory support for neonates, the book also provides practical information for readers including a guide to the physical exam, technical aspects of monitoring patients, and device-specific chapters on mechanical ventilators. The concise and practical applications of concepts discussed in this text are what set it apart from others. This book is written in outline format, and the chapters are short and well written. The use of colorful diagrams and pictures throughout the book adds to its readability.
Assessment: This book is a well-researched and well-written manual that provides a comprehensive approach to the respiratory care of sick newborns. Compared to other textbooks, this book is easier to read and more likely to be utilized as a reference for specific topics at the bedside or in the classroom. The outline format highlights only the most important points for each topic, allowing the readers to glean information quickly. The field of neonatal medicine changes rapidly as practices are abandoned or adopted based on the available evidence. The updated version of this text is justified for neonatal care providers to remain current with the evidence and best practices in the field of neonatology.
