T2  - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures
AB  - The  diagnosis  and  management  of  acute  problems  of  the  newborn  are  common  in  the  daily  clinical  practice  of  neonatologists  and  pediatricians  as  well  as  other  health  care  professionals  involved  in  the  care  of  babies  after  birth.  A  variety  of  comprehensive  neonatology  textbooks  exists  addressing  both  acute  and  chronic  problems  of  the  newborn.  These  texts  typically  contain  limited  specific  details  about  management  approaches  or  procedures  relevant  to  the  topical  areas.  On  the  other  hand,  there  are  a  number  of  manuals  for  clinical  care  or  procedures  that  provide  more  detail  but  do  not  provide  much  in  the  way  of  comprehensive  topical  reviews.  The  goal  of  the  current  book  is  to  combine  the  knowledge  content  feature  of  a  comprehensive  neonatology  textbook  with  the  practical  nature  of  an  atlas.  This  practical  aspect  of  the  book  should  make  it  more  useful  to  the  practitioner  on  a  day-to-day  basis  as  well  as  provide  the  knowledge  content  needed  for  ensuring  a  more  fundamental  understanding  of  the  selected  topics.  To  make  the  book  manageable  and  based  on  the  experiences  of  the  editors,  we  decided  to  focus  on  what  we  would  describe  as  essential  neonatology  and  concentrate  on  selected  acute  problems  of  the  newborn.  Thus,  our  book  has  a  practical  orientation  to  the  topics,  and  the  last  section  covers  detailed  information  about  management  approaches  and  procedures  that  would  complement  the  various  topical  areas  of  the  text.  Finally,  the  book  is  intended  to  be  useful  to  all  physicians  involved  in  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  newborn  infants  after  birth.  In  one  book,  we  offer  comprehensive  reviews  of  selected  topics  and  comprehensive  advice  about  management  approaches  and  procedures  based  on  the  highest  level  of  evidence  available  in  each  case.  Our  goal  is  to  provide  an  authoritative  practical  medical  resource  for  neonatologists,  pediatricians,  and  other  health  care  providers  dealing  with  newborns  after  birth.
