Book Neonatal Kidney and Fluid Electrolytes

Download or read book Neonatal Kidney and Fluid Electrolytes written by J. Strauss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume and Pediatric Nephrology Seminar IX from which it was created is to provide easy access to current concepts in the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases in the newborn. Complimentary to this purpose is the opportunity the Seminar structure gives me to invite those particularly interested in the subject chosen to come together, share experiences and ideas in an unhurried, unpressured atmosphere for four con tinuous days - an oasis for me and, I am told, also for the faculty and registrants. This year's subject choice is an expression of my perennial interest in the kidney of the newborn. A step back to view the steps forward reveals unwittingly intertwined associations and actions which now fall into focus. When I was just beginning my pediatric nephrology training with Sol Kaplan at Downstate in Brooklyn, we discussed Bob Usher's pioneering thought that there was something wrong with the kidneys of babies with RDS. Without really knowing what needed to be done, I started looking at the kidneys of those babies. Subsequently, Dick Day who was Chairman of the Department of Pedia trics there, stopped me in the hall, and asked me to come into his office. Glowing in quiet introspection, he extolled the joy of working with one's hands, then hurried away to his laboratory. He had been the Director of the Newborn Nursery at Babies Hospital before coming to Downstate, and (as I later found out) was trying to do something with oxygen electrodes.

Download or read book HADI PRACTICAL NEONATOLOGY BOOK 2 written by DR.ABDELHADI ABDELGABBAR ABDELHADI MBBS,MRCP,FRCPCH and published by ABDELHADI ABDELGABBAR ABDELHADI. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadi Practical Neonatology (Hadi PN), 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 neonatal textbooks or to teach the beginners in the field. Prior sound knowledge of Neonatal Medicine, by the user, is essential. This book is the second in the series. It covers aspects of NEUROLOGY-FLUIDS & ELECTROLYTES, VASCULAR ACCESS & SAMPLING, FREQUENT CHALLENGES , HAEMATOLOGY, JAUNDICE and ESSENTIAL PROCEDURES&PRACTICES 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 2-3 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 pathways and standards. There is no robust verification of 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, and seizures pharmacological treatment. I have reviewed multiple neonatal medical and nursing guidelines from Europe, North America, and Australia as well as guidelines from Asia, South America, and Africa. I integrated many aspects from these guidelines within this text 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. Many 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 challenging circumstances in developing countries are taken into consideration. It is a legal requirement to advise users of the information provided within this publication that the editor and publisher are not responsible for any errors or omissions and or any consequences arising from the use of this book.
