The official textbook for the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), co-published by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. It details the cognitive, technical, and teamwork skills required for newborn resuscitation, covering topics from initial steps and positive-pressure ventilation to chest compressions, medications, and care for preterm infants, incorporating the 2020 guidelines.
A comprehensive compilation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and policies provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), focused entirely on the health and care of neonates.
Systematic review and meta-analysis clarifying the role of systemic hydrocortisone (started before the 15th day of life) in preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and adverse outcomes in very preterm neonates. The study found that hydrocortisone did not reduce BPD, but significantly reduced mortality and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). The authors suggest that hydrocortisone may be considered on a case-by-case basis to reduce mortality and NEC.
A Clinical Practice Guideline detailing the protocol for the diagnosis, initiation, maintenance of therapeutic hypothermia, and monitoring of patients with Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). The guideline aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for early diagnosis and treatment to decrease multi-organ complications in asphyxiated newborns.
A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the association between perinatal depression and infant and toddler neurodevelopment during the first two postnatal years. The study concluded that perinatal depression was associated with poorer cognitive, language, and motor development in infants and toddlers.
Analysis of the definition, differential diagnosis, systematic review, and strategic diagnostic testing for hypotonia in newborn infants, focusing on differentiating between central and peripheral causes and the immediate recognition of treatable conditions.
Journal issue covering machine learning for clinical decision support in the NICU, management of neonatal choanal atresia and visual impairment, the Ex-Utero Intrapartum Treatment (EXIT) procedure, ophthalmic outcomes in preterm infants, and case series on equity and inclusion regarding social drivers of health in the NICU.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the diseases, conditions, and management protocols related to the newborn infant, covering diagnosis and treatment in the field of neonatology.
A practical guide to neonatal haematology, covering interpretation of full blood counts and blood films in term and preterm neonates, red cell disorders (anaemia, polycythaemia), leucocyte abnormalities associated with infection, and disorders of platelets, coagulation, thrombosis, and blood transfusion principles.
An expert consensus statement providing nine recommendations on optimal pain assessment and pain treatment in preterm infants suffering from Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). It addresses the variability in current analgesic practices and provides clinical guidance for healthcare professionals caring for this vulnerable population, recommending regular pain assessments and pre-emptive analgesic therapy (e.g., paracetamol and an opioid) in infants with NEC stage≥II.

This article reviews the estimated incidence, etiology, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic management strategies for Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). It highlights common causes in these settings, such as meconium aspiration syndrome and pneumonia/sepsis, and outlines standard treatment approaches including supplemental oxygen, ventilator support, and sildenafil.
This book, intended for ophthalmologists in training and general ophthalmologists, provides a coherent and practical description of disorders of the cornea and their management. Emphasis is placed on accurate diagnosis and the diagnostic process. Key topics include corneal ulceration, superficial keratopathy, trauma, dystrophies, transplantation, and medical therapy for corneal disease.
A comprehensive educational module detailing the external features, surfaces, fissures, lobes (anterior, posterior, flocculonodular), and anatomical divisions (including the archicerebellum, paleocerebellum, and neocerebellum) of the cerebellum. The text covers connections to the cerebral cortex and internal nuclei, and discusses the functions and anomalies related to cerebellar disorders.
Analysis of the implications of Sepsis-3 guidelines, focusing on the re-evaluation of traditional therapies such as crystalloid fluids and steroids. It explores novel therapeutic options including angiotensin II, vitamin C, and thiamine, and the utility of procalcitonin (PCT) for managing antibiotics. The review discusses the shift from noninfectious inflammatory processes to the emphasis on a dysregulated host response to infection.
This document covers the core concepts of administration and management, including definitions, the difference between top-level administration and middle/bottom-level management, and key functional differences. It details Henry Fayol's 14 Principles of Administration and summarizes major management theories, such as Scientific Management (Taylor) and Theory X & Y (McGregor). The material also includes specific sections on the Code of Ethics for Nurses.
