Pediatria

Le malattie infettive sono tra le principali cause di morbilità e mortalità in età pediatrica in tutto il mondo. La loro gestione richiede una comprensione approfondita degli agenti eziologici, dell’epidemiologia e delle strategie di diagnosi, prevenzione e controllo; comprensione che questo manuale si propone di impostare e sostenere con uno strumento solido, utile e rapido da consultare.Nella prima sezione si descrivono gli agenti eziologici causa di malattie infettive pediatriche, dai batteri ai virus, dai protozoi ai funghi e ai parassiti. La loro variabilità e la loro capacità di mutare e di adattarsi impone una comprensione dinamica delle modalità di trasmissione, dei fattori di rischio e dei meccanismi patogenetici.Nella seconda sezione si illustrano i quadri clinici: ogni capitolo presenta le caratteristiche cliniche, le modalità di diagnosi, le opzioni terapeutiche, le strategie preventive e gli strumenti per la gestione delle patologie. Particolare attenzione è riservata alle malattie infettive emergenti e riemergenti, in un contesto di globalizzazione e di cambiamenti ambientali che può favorire la diffusione di nuovi o la ricomparsi di vecchi patogeni.In appendice si descrivono i principali test diagnostici, gli aspetti dell’immunizzazione attiva e passiva e le raccomandazioni per soggetti o situazioni a rischio. La prevenzione ha un ruolo essenziale nella gestione delle malattie infettive pediatriche; perciò, ampio spazio è riservato ai programmi di vaccinazione, alle pratiche di igiene e alle misure di controllo delle infezioni.

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.
