This is the first textbook devoted entirely to understanding and
treating necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), one of the leading causes
of death and disability in premature infants. NEC continues to
occur in neonatal units across the world, and the overall mortality
has remained stubbornly high since its first description decades
ago. Despite significant research into NEC, and a greater
understanding of its underlying causes, there is no single source
of information to which the care team can turn for guidance. This
book fills that important gap in clinical care. In selecting the
topics for this inaugural textbook, three guiding principles have
been followed. First, to include chapters that provide detailed
information for the medical team - the doctors and nurses, the
therapists and pharmacists, the chaplains and the child life
workers - so that each team member can optimally recognize, prevent
and treat patients with this disease. Second, to ensure that
chapters cover the depth and breadth of the latest clinical and
scientific research into NEC, each selected to identify specific
preventative strategies or therapies for this disease. Third, and
perhaps most importantly, to focus not only on the child with NEC,
but also on the child's family, in order to provide comprehensive
information about a disease that families have barely heard about,
until the jarring day when their precious infant is affected by it.
This book therefore: serves as a "how-to guide" for the care of the
infant with NEC summarises critical new research and offers
guidelines for future key research areas addresses the complex and
difficult issues surrounding care of the critically ill infant
suffering from NEC Written for the entire health care team
including paediatric surgeons, neonatologists, developmental
paediatricians, epidemiologists, ethicists, child life
professionals, therapists and specialist nurses, each team member
will find this book of value. This book was written to demystify
this cruel disease, and to unlock its closely held secrets of
pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
