Neonatal Respiratory Care Handbook
Elgloria A. Harrison
editore: Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc
pagine: 272
Neonatal Respiratory Handbook is an excellent handbook which will illustrate the more common types of procedures that a respiratory therapist, new graduate or an experienced therapist would be expected to perform in the day-to-day operations of a highly specialized unit for children. This book is especially appropriate for respiratory students enrolled in a Neonatal/Pediatric class, particularly during their Neonatal and Pediatric rotation; Respiratory Educators and Residents, within a pulmonary medicine residency; and Respiratory graduates, orienting or completing their orientation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Neonatal Respiratoy Handbook is a valuable tool, as it has all the necessary resources in one handy book. A helpful "how to" guide that a therapist would refer to time and time again, this book is simple and straight forward with numerous pictures and illustrations of various respiratory procedures and/or equipment.
Additionally, this book goes a step further in that it looks at the major categories of Respiratory illnesses affecting this patient population and reviews the types of equipment appropriate to treat each disease entity. A skills DVD will also be included and packaged with the book as an added feature. Instructor Resources: TestBank

All'alba della vita. GLi incerti confini delle cure intensive neonatali
Maria Serenella Pignotti
editore: Le Lettere
pagine: 224
Il libro si inserisce in un cammino professionale che ha portato l'autrice, come molti suoi colleghi, a riflettere sul vero significato di percorsi terapeutici intensivi applicati a pazienti con scarse o nulle probabilità di sopravvivenza, e il cui peso per il neonato è enorme e, quindi, discutibile. Si è infatti diffusa una maggiore consapevolezza delle conseguenze umane e affettive, ma anche sociali, che le cure intensive impongono al paziente stesso e alla sua famiglia. Il volume ripercorre le tappe e gli enormi successi che la neonatologia ha conseguito negli ultimi 50 anni; passa attraverso le statistiche di sopravvivenza e di mortalità, l'incidenza di handicap e disabilità nei sopravvissuti, gli atteggiamenti terapeutici nei vari paesi, europei ed extraeuropei, la legislazione italiana e straniera. L'ambito di riflessione bioetica vuole interrogare la società sul vero fine delle cure intensive nei piccolissimi e sull'identificazione del vero interesse del bambino.
Il triage pediatrico
Tiziana Zangardi , Liviana Da Dalt
editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 280
Il Triage è un sistema di valutazione rapida del paziente che accede ai Dipartimenti di Emergenza ed Accettazione (DEA) finalizzato alla pronta identificazione dei pazienti critici, in pericolo imminente o potenziale di vita, e alla stratificazione dei pazienti non critici in diversi gruppi di gravità ai quali corrispondono diverse priorità di intervento. Negli ultimi anni il Triage è andato diffondendosi anche nei Pronto Soccorsi pediatrici e sempre più si riconosce l'esigenza di una sua attivazione all'interno di tutte le strutture, anche non pediatriche, che accolgono bambini in urgenza-emergenza. Quando applicato al bambino il Triage presenta delle caratteristiche peculiari rispetto al Triage dell'adulto, per la diversa prevalenza delle malattie dell'età evolutiva, per la diversità dei segni e sintomi d'allarme e per il diverso significato dei dati clinici nel predirne il potenziale livello di gravità.

Primary Care of the Premature Infant
Dara Brodsky , Mary Ann Ouellette
editore: Saunders
pagine: 334
Our understanding of the management of diseases in the premature infant has changed dramatically in recent years, and it can be quite difficult to remain up-to-date on changes in this highly scientific field. Dr. Brodsky and Ms. Ouellette have worked together to create a comprehensive reference that covers both the pathophysiology and epidemiology of problems occurring in premature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and the management of these problems once the infant has been released from the NICU to a community practice. The book emphasizes specific diseases that affect premature infants and focuses on two primary categories: background and management in the NICU, and management of specific illnesses after discharge from the NICU.

Severely unwell children are the most frightening emergency a clinician can face. This handbook aims to guide the clinician through what to do and when; in a format that can be read at the bedside. Resuscitation techniques are described in detail and comprehensive management plans are provided. Emergencies in Paediatrics and Neonatology is a symptom-based handbook which concisely covers a range of essential information, from the key facts to elicit in the history to the specific difficulties of children in an emergency situation - communication and pain relief. Symbols are used to indicate clinical severity ranging from life-threatening to minor, and the book includes detailed drug dosages for children and the most recent resuscitation guidelines. This will be invaluable for those working with acutely ill children, staff in accident and emergency medicine, and general practitioners. It will also be a useful pocket guide for all junior doctors who see children, including surgeons and anaesthetists.

Emergenze pediatriche
M. Roger Barkin , Peter Rosen
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 782
Nell'ambito dell'assistenza pediatrica si riscontra un sempre maggiore interesse nei confronti dell'emergenza/urgenza neonatale e pediatrica che rappresentano ormai i settori chiave della pediatria ospedaliera e gli unici in grado, con le patologie croniche, di giustificare l'esistenza stessa di una struttura complessa di Pediatria in un Ospedale Generale. È quindi necessario contribuire alla formazione di una mentalità orientata all'emergenza/urgenza in tutti i nuovi pediatri e aggiornare i meno giovani sui temi che si devono affrontare giornalmente associando l'esperienza e le conoscenze personali con la medicina basata sull'evidenza. Questo volume, pur con le inevitabili difficoltà di adattare alla nostra realtà clinica alcune abitudini e scelte tipicamente anglosassoni - che nel rispetto del testo originale si è cercato di conservare - rappresenta un utile e importante supporto per chi quotidianamente, nel proprio ambulatorio o in un Pronto Soccorso ospedaliero, è impegnato a migliorare la salute dei bambini.
