Neonatology Handbook

By Dr. Pearl Wunsch

Neonatology Handbook is a practical and comprehensive guide to the care of newborn infants, with special attention to premature, critically ill, and high-risk babies.

Written for medical students, residents, physicians, neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, this book explains the essential principles of neonatal physiology, assessment, stabilization, monitoring, and intensive care in a clear and clinically useful manner. It covers neonatal resuscitation, respiratory distress, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, surfactant treatment, cardiovascular instability, neonatal infection, neurologic emergencies, jaundice, gastrointestinal disease, renal and metabolic disorders, and complications of prematurity.

Readers will also find practical guidance on neonatal procedures, vascular access, medication safety, pharmacology, enteral and parenteral nutrition, developmental care, pain management, family-integrated practice, discharge planning, and long-term neurodevelopmental follow-up.

The handbook also addresses important contemporary areas of neonatal medicine, including ethical decision making, palliative care, patient safety, quality improvement, tele-neonatology, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and evidence-based clinical practice.

Supported by useful reference tables, clinical checklists, laboratory ranges, drug-dose frameworks, respiratory and blood-gas references, nutrition calculations, a glossary, and an index, Neonatology Handbook is designed to serve as both a learning resource and a convenient clinical reference for professionals involved in newborn and care.
