This atlas details common and uncommon procedures performed on newborn infants in intensive care. It provides drawings and photographs to illustrate anatomic landmarks and aspects of the procedures and includes alternative procedures and discussion of indications, contraindications, precautions, equipment, technique, and complications. It incorporates the best possible evidence for practices and discusses controversies where relevant. It addresses preparation and support, physiologic monitoring, blood sampling, miscellaneous sampling, vascular access, respiratory care, tube placement and care, transfusions, and miscellaneous procedures. Contributors work in pediatrics, neonatology, and other medical fields in North America, Europe, and Australia. This edition has new chapters on making low-cost simulation models for neonatal procedures, delayed cord clamping and cord milking, surfactant administration via thin catheter, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography, ventriculoperitoneal shunts, and external ventricular drain management and wound care; new procedural content and videos; and a new quick-reference appendix with a checklist of procedures.
