Editorial Review:
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.

Rating:  - Great for New NICU Nurses
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.

Rating: - Neonatal Intensive care
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!

Rating:  - Too Complicated
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 ... Read More
