Ebook Workbook in Practical Neonatalogy
This is the sixth edition of the Workbook in Practical Neonatol
ogy. There is no doubt that the practice of our discipline has
changed in numerous ways since the first edition of this text was
published in 1983. However, we remain passionately convinced
that the study of neonatology is best conducted in a format
similar to the dialogue between a learner and teacher as they
“see” the patient. The dialogue is informed by the specific ele
ments of acquired patient data that give some evidence for the
status of the patient in supplement of the physical examination,
and assessments for the daily plan of the patient are constructed.
In each chapter, specific case studies are presented, followed by a
series of questions that seek the reader to choose an intervention,
and then the various approaches are discussed to bring the
reader to identify the most appropriate plan of action.
As true for the first edition, this book is designed to pro
vide an opportunity to directly solve problems as you read
through the clinical scenarios. The workbook format has four
objectives: to allow you to evaluate your own knowledge for
each problem presented; to permit you to identify areas of
knowledge in which you are deficient so that you may read up
and enhance your armamentarium of knowledge; to keep
you engaged and alert as you solve the problems presented
and to have fun while learning.
We have recruited new authors to provide a fresh perspec
tive on all the given areas. Each were chosen for their recog
nized expertise and status within the discipline, as has been
the tradition since the first edition. Thus, the goal of the
present edition is to provide new avenues from which to
glean the available evidence, new insights into pathophysiol
ogy, and advances in treatment of critically ill neonates.
We wish to thank Angie Breckon from Elsevier for her
outstanding guidance through the entire project. MCY wishes
to thank his wife, Holly, children Andrew, Cait, Chris and
Emily and grandchildren Isaac, Jacob, Gracie, and Charlotte
for all their support. RAP wishes to thank his wife Helene,
children Allison, Mitchell, Jessica and Gregory and grandchil
dren Lindsey, Eli, Willa, Jasper, Casey, Smith, Calla and Elliott
