Texas Children's Hospital Handbook of Pediatrics and Neonatology - 9780071639248

An essential handbook for anyone who treats children

The ONLY pediatric handbook to include coverage of neonatology

Written by experienced residents and reviewed by attending and senior clinicians, Texas Children's Handbook of Pediatrics and Neonatology is the only handbook that covers neonatology as well as pediatrics. Concise and authoritative, it strives to answer the question "What do I do next?," enabling less experienced clinicians to learn procedures quickly and bypass "curbside consultations" with senior staff.

Encompassing forty-three chapters, this evidence-based pocket resource opens with clinical pearls that focus on working with and evaluating children, instruction in analgesia and sedation, and common procedures. Nutrition and growth are also covered. The pediatrics section moves through twenty-two key areas including emergency medicine, endocrinology, toxicology, allergy, and infectious disease. The neonatology section includes a selection of chapters on fetal assessment and prenatal diagnosis, newborn nursery, initial stabilizations and discharge planning before moving into core areas such as cardiology, genetics, infectious disease, and pulmonology.
