The first reports of the successful use of mechanical ventilation
to treat respiratory disorders in the neonate were published in the
1960s. Subsequent decades have seen the widespread use of
ventilation technology, the development of high-frequency
ventilation and extracorporeal support, and, most recently, the use
of surfactant replacement therapy and synchronized ventilation.
Neonatal and pulmonary clinicians now have a wide range of
diagnostic and therapeutic tools from which to select a customized
management strategy. As a result, the modern neonatal intensive
care unit has become a technological wonder, and an occasional
source of confusion.
Divided into twenty main sections, this book offers a wealth of
information to those providing intensive respiratory care to the
newborn. Eighty-three separate chapters, written by leaders in
their respective fields, cover a comprehensive range of material,
including lung development and function, the principles of
mechanical ventilation, available diagnostic and therapeutic
equipment, strategies for treating various respiratory disorders,
alternative treatments, outcomes, and ethical considerations
pertaining to the care of newborns. The outline-style presentation
is clinically focused, ensuring that all subjects are described in
a manner that is easily understood and easily applied to bedside
treatment.
This manual will be of immense value to all those who come in
contact with a neonatal intensive care unit, including
pediatricians, neonatologists, pulmonary specialists, respiratory
therapists, neonatal nurses and nurse practitioners, fellows,
residents, interns, and medical students.
