Book Heart Disease in Paediatrics

Download or read book Heart Disease in Paediatrics written by S. C. Jordan and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart Disease in Paediatrics, Third Edition discusses the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease, particularly on the use of technologies. The Doppler echocardiography provides hemodynamic information; the Doppler color flow imaging produces a picture resembling an angiocardiogram, including the various procedures of balloon valvuloplasty and angioplasty in lesion appraisals. The book reviews general cardiology, fetal circulation, the changes at birth related to congenital heart disease, and the generation of heart sounds and murmurs. To conduct cardiac investigations, the medical practitioner can employ radiology, electrocardiography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, or myocardial biopsy. The text also describes the different congenital cardiac defects such as left ventricle to right atrial communication (Gerbode defect) and pulmonary valve stenosis with right-to-left shunt at atrial level. Special problems related to heart problems in the newborn infant include hypoplasia of the left heart, neonatal hypocalcaemia, and systemic arteriovenous. The book addresses the psychosocial and primary care problems of congenital heart disease where treatment is given possibly before the child reaches school age. The text can benefit pediatricians, heart specialists, family physicians, psychologists, obstetrician-gynecologist, and primary health care professionals.

Download or read book Neonatal Heart Disease written by Robert M. Freedom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As pediatric cardiology becomes more and more neonatal cardiology and even fetal cardiology, Neonatal Heart Disease by Robert M. Freedom, MO, Leland N. Benson, MD, and Jeffrey F. Smallhorn, MB is extraordinarily timely. Neonatal Heart Disease consists of 50 chapters by 25 distinguished contributors and is a worthy successor to The Neonate With Congenital Heart Disease by Richard D. Rowe, MD and his colleagues (1968 and 1981). The first ~dition of this book in 1968 established Richard D. Rowe, MD as the father of neonatal cardiology. As most pediatric cardiologists now know, Dick Rowe died on January 18, 1988 after a brief illness. It will therefore come as no surprise that the present volume is dedicated to this great and gentle man. Nor will it come as a surprise that I have been asked to devote this Foreword to Richard D. Rowe, MD, pioneering neonatal cardiologist and incomparable personal friend. What can one say about Dick Rowe? Well, there are at least two very different tales. There is Dick Rowe the public man -the factual account of Dick Rowe's achievements as a physician, educator, and research man - the Dick Rowe that virtually "everyone" knows. And then there is Dick Rowe the private man -the extraordinary human being who only his personal friends were privileged to know. I shall try to tell something of both stories. First, the public man - the factual account - is really quite amazing.

This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadi Practical Neonatology ,a 2-book series of practical guidelines, is intended to provide a structured approach to the management of neonatal conditions which are likely to face the neonatal team. It is not intended to replace textbooks or to teach the beginners in the field. Prior sound knowledge of Neonatal Medicine, by the user, is essential. This book is the first in the series. It covers aspects of RESUSCITATION, THERMAL CONTROL- RESPIRATORY-CARDIOVASCULAR-INFECTIONS- ENDOCRINE & METABOLIC-GASTROINTESTINAL & NUTRITION- DERMATOLOGY- and SURGICAL NEWBORN challenges. It is my belief that neonatal doctors and nurses are an integrated team, and any demarcation is an imaginary line. The recipe of creating a backbone of good nurses is passionate support, continuous education, and practical teaching at every possible opportunity. Mutual trust and appropriate delegations are crucial to the success of the team. HADI PN series is written for the neonatal team and not just for the medical staff. The best way for consolidating the team knowledge and experience is bedside teaching. New methods and approaches of neonatal management are progressing but seem to slow down over the last few years. This may reflect the fact neonatal advances are approaching our era peak of “what is possible.” Nevertheless, many of our current practices are yet to be scrutinized to fulfil the evidence-based standards. There is no robust verification of the evidence behind our current practice of many routine day to day applications. This include but not limited to fluid requirements, duration of antibiotics courses, use of various blood products, seizures pharmacological treatment, and safe PaCO2 levels. I have reviewed multiple medical and nursing guidelines from Europe, North America, and Australia as well as Asia, South America, and Africa. I integrated many of these guidelines within this book whenever they are in accord with the international acceptable practices. Feedback and suggestions are welcome and can be sent to [email protected] The book is an updated version of the protocols and guidelines which I have developed during my work as Consultant Neonatologist. Some are adopted from various reputable institutes and modified to reflect the current evidence plus a slight flavour of my experience. Considerable effort has been exercised to ensure the doses of medications given in HADI PN are accurate. However, further confirmation by the nursing and medical staff is advised prior to the first use of each medication. HADI PN reflects the author’s own acceptable and safe practice and advice. It is written with the intention of facilitating the delivery of care to the most vulnerable newborn. The publication is written bearing in mind the wide variations in the skill mix of neonatal practitioners, nurses, and doctors. Likewise, the chall
