Description: Covers all aspects of the basic science and management of neonatal pulmonary care - including complications, nutrition, transport, outcomes, follow-up, and parental education. Ventilatory management case studies let the reader test and hone their diagnostic and clinical abilities with problems drawn from actual patients. Plus, more than 30 appendices let the reader quickly find normal values, assessment charts, ICU flow sheets, procedure steps, and other useful tools. This resource is your reference for both the basic concepts of pulmonary pathophysiology as well as practical guidance on neonatal ventilation management strategies.
