Neonatologia

L'atlante Neo Pocus: gli ultrasuoni a servizio del neonatologo nella pratica clinica rappresenta un'opera di notevole importanza nel campo della Neonatologia. Questo testo-atlante, infatti, si propone di fornire un aggiornamento completo e pratico sull'utilizzo degli ultrasuoni nella corretta diagnosi delle patologie d'organo e di alcune situazioni di emergenza che si verificano nel neonato, consentendone un adeguato e tempestivo trattamento.L'ecografia al letto del neonato, NEO POCUS - Neonatal Point-of-Care Ultra-Sound - è definitivamente entrata nei reparti di Neonatologia, diventando uno strumento indispensabile perché consente di ottenere immagini dettagliate degli organi interni in modo non invasivo: rappresenta infatti il "terzo occhio" per l'operatore sanitario che la utilizza.L'atlante è stato organizzato per differenti organi e distretti in sette capitoli, che spaziano dall'ecografia cerebrale all'ecografia toracica, cardiaca, addominale, delle anche, della regione lombo-sacrale e degli accessi vascolari.Tutte le 347 immagini eseguite nei nostri piccoli e piccolissimi pazienti forniscono le informazioni necessarie a interpretare le principali patologie del neonato. Inoltre, la presenza di 53 filmati visualizzabili tramite QR Code aumentano l'interattività e il coinvolgimento dei lettori.Sono sicuro che l'Atlante "Neo Pocus" rappresenti uno strumento indispensabile per migliorare la qualità delle cure in Neonatologia.Un ringraziamento particolare va al Dott. Alessandro Perri, coordinatore dell'opera e instancabile sostenitore dell'uso degli ultrasuoni a servizio del neonato, così come alle Autrici e agli Autori di questo testo-atlante e a tutta la Squadra della Neonatologia, con cui ho il piacere e l'onore di lavorare ogni giorno...Prof. GIOVANNI VENTODirettore UOC di NeonatologiaFondazione Policlinico Universitario A.

The book covers all aspects of anesthesia in newborns, neonates (under 28 days) and premature babies. These patients are highly vulnerable, very small in size and weight, at very high risk, and have high mortality and morbidity, which gets further aggravated by the medical diseases and congenital abnormalities these babies may suffer from. The book provides knowledge that equips the anesthetists with the regional techniques used to provide both anesthesia and analgesia, including information about the drugs used, skills in providing neuraxial blocks, nerve blocks, etc., complications thereof and the specially designed equipment for these patients (IV cannula, endotracheal tubes, ryles tubes, laryngoscopes, SpO2 probes, monitors, incubators, warmers and heaters, mattresses, OT tables). The book covers the pharmacology of drugs used, the effect of anesthetic drugs on the developing brain, pulmonary physiology, airway assessment and management, ventilation modes, getting IV and arterial access, preoperative workup, anesthetic management, and postoperative care. It includes care and concerns from both surgical and anesthesia aspects. It covers all the common surgical diseases along with some rare cases such as oncological concerns, palliative care, ethical concerns and pain management. The book also discusses the role and use of ultrasound. The chapter on anesthesia for short procedures includes common birth and neonatal care injuries. The book contains chapters on fluid therapy, blood and blood product transfusion guidelines and indications, resuscitation of a newborn and neonate, and neonatal rehabilitation to improve neonatal outcomes. It contains a dedicated chapter on why these babies are at a high risk of morbidity and mortality and contributing maternal factors. All the chapters are written by experts in their fields with vast experience. This book bridges the gap in the knowledge of an anesthesiologist between anesthesia for children and adults and newborns, neonates and preterm babies.

La neonatologia moderna è una scienza giovane, dinamica, in continuo divenire e che nel giro di pochi anni si è resa protagonista di profondi mutamenti. I progressi della Medicina perinatale hanno modificato la tipologia dei nostri pazienti, il nostro approccio assistenziale a tante patologie è cambiato radicalmente, si stanno gradualmente modificando i criteri strutturali ed organizzativi delle nostre Terapie Intensive Neonatali. Per questo e per tanti altri motivi sono convinto che la comunità neonatologica italiana accoglierà con grande favore la realizzazione di questo “Manuale di Neonatologia”, un’opera che si propone di trasferire nella pratica clinica quotidiana tutto quanto di nuovo ha prodotto negli ultimi anni la ricerca in Neonatologia. Uno strumento di facile consultazione da avere sempre in tasca o nel cassetto della scrivania realizzato con l’obiettivo di essere un utile compagno di lavoro per tutti i neonatologi italiani.
