Recenzje

"This is a more practical book, aimed at new learners or seasoned practitioners looking for another resource to add to their collection. The pictures and illustrations make this an easy-to-read book, with information readily available at your fingertips. This is a book I would be comfortable picking up, opening to a random chapter, and just start reading. It is an essential addition to the libraries of practitioners caring for newborns." (Poj Lysouvakon, Doody's Book Reviews, June 21, 2019)
"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, but there 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)

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.
