Neonatal Anesthesia, 2nd Edition (PDF Book)
Neonatal Anesthesia, 2nd Edition
By Jerrold Lerman
This comprehensive and well-illustrated book is led by Dr. Jerrold Lerman who brings four decades of research, publication and clinical experience in pediatric and neonatal anesthesia. Since publication of the first edition in 2015, neonatal anesthesia and surgery have advanced at lightning speed with many new developments, hence the need to update several essential topics. These include our understanding of neonatal apoptosis, the ever-increasing use of regional anesthesia in neonates, pharmacology of drugs in neonates, the delivery of anesthesia outside the operating room, neonatal resuscitation/guidelines, and perinatal complexities such as the EXIT procedure together with the fundamental principles of developmental physiology, airway management and ventilation as well as perioperative complications and ethical considerations that are unique to this age group.
Expert authors provide theory-based practical approaches to understanding and managing anesthesia in our youngest and fragile patient population, covering the neonatal airway, physiology, drugs and anesthetics, with separate chapters on each subcategory of neonatal anesthesia. Trainees as well as experienced clinicians will find this clinical reference book an invaluable resource for every anesthetic and critical care department that serves children.
Reviews from the 1st edition:
“Lerman’s book stands alone as an up-to-date text dedicated exclusively to the practice of anesthesia in neonates… Neonatal Anesthesia is a sophisticated but approachable text that offers its readers theory-based practical approaches to understanding and managing anesthesia in our youngest, most fragile patient population.” (Stephanie A. Black and Lynne G. Maxwell, Anesthesiology, Vol. 125 (3), 2016)
“It is a long-awaited contribution to the literature, filling a gap of over a decade without a neonatal anaesthesia textbook…Dr Lerman should be commended for finally presenting the anaesthesia community worldwide with this textbook, which will be able to stand on its own, probably for the next decade.” (K. P. Mason, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 116 (4), 2016)
“This book is an essential addition to any pediatric anesthesiology library in any organization that provides care to neonates…” (Carolyne Montgomery and J. Mark Ansermino, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 62, 2015)
