Product Description
Since it first published, the Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care has been the mainstay reference for neonatal nurses. Co-edited and authored by physicians, it focuses on the collaborative nature of neonatal intensive care and examines evidence-based clinical decision-making to demonstrate every aspect of the intensive care of the neonate, with a strong emphasis on clinical practice. Key neonatal topics are covered, and pathophysiology is examined using a systems approach. Comprehensive enough for both physicians and nurses, this handbook is a vital resource for those providing neonatal intensive care.
- Multidisciplinary author and contributor team present a real-world perspective similar to that experienced in the neonatal intensive care unit.
- Clinically applicable content is set in boldface type for easy identification for busy neonatal care providers.
- Evidence-based practice explained in the first chapter provides a solid background with evidence-based rationales and references to underscore its significance for neonatal health care providers.
- Diagnostic Imaging chapter includes basic information on how diagnostic imaging tests are evaluated.
- Follow-Up Care chapter covers how health care providers should refer the neonate and parents to appropriate care post-discharge from the NICU.
- Includes a Parent Teaching section for each disorder or relevant section.
- Infection in the Neonate chapter includes current immunization recommendations for neonates.
- Case studies illustrate important points when writing hospital orders for the neonate.
- Parent Teaching feature highlights post-discharge care of the neonate.
- Critical Findings feature, located in the assessment section of disorders, helps the nurse prioritize data and steps in initial care.
- Data Collection feature incorporates information that should be included as part of the neonate's history.

 Great for New NICU Nurses July 17, 2008
Having been in adult nursing for a few years and later changing my career path towards pediatrics... this was the first book I purchased in preparation for the NICU. It contains excellent material for either learning or brushing up on your neonatal education. Matter of fact, this exact book is used as a reference book in the NICU where I work. =)

Excellent book for seasoned nurses to have as a reference or for a new nurse just starting in the neonatal unit. Comprehensive, well organized, easy to read and understand; photos, diagrams very helpful. Well worth the investment!

 Too Complicated September 17, 2007

This book is too difficult to understand. The book says it is a resource for nurses but it talks about how to insert a central catheter and calculating fluid/electrolyte/glucose rquirements which I will not use. It is full of complex formulas and charts that take up entire pages. It is also full of hundreds of statistics that are boring and a waste of my time to read. I was looking for something that starts out more basic and is easier to read. This book is more geared towards physicians or experienced nurses but not new grads starting out in the NICU like myself. Someone reading this book will need an introduction to basic neonatology before they can understand this book.
