Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections
( Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections is expertly written ...)
Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections is expertly written by David Isaacs, an experienced author renowned for his knowledge in both pediatric infections and evidence-based medicine. It critically analyses the evidence for decision making in neonatal infections. Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections * The first evidence-based text on neonatal infections * Provides practical guidance where evidence is poor * Complements David Isaacs’ Evidence-Based Pediatric Infectious Diseases (9781405148580) Practical and evidence-based, Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections is designed to help the clinician with day-to-day decisions on the care of newborn babies with possible, probable or proven infections. It considers clinical questions relevant to neonatologists, analysing the evidence carefully and providing recommendations for optimum management of neonatal infectious diseases, whilst reflecting on: • Efficacy and safety • Antibiotic resistance • Cost effectiveness • Adverse effects • Ethical considerations Evidence-Based Neonatal Infections provides a unique reference for neonatologists, pediatricians, trainees, specialist nurses; general practitioners, microbiologists, infection control doctors, and all staff in neonatal units.

This unique handbook is a highly practical and readable guide designed to help the clinician with day-to-day decisions on the care of newborn babies with possible, probable or proven infections. It answers important questions such as when to start antibiotics and when to stop, which antibiotic to use and how to prevent infections and manage outbreaks.

This practical handbook uses a symptom-based approach to paediatric differential diagnosis. For each symptom, the book describes its epidemiology, the physiological principles underlying the symptom, history, examination, and investigation, and features a summary management box and a case study. The 2nd Edition features a much more extensive collection of symptoms―nearly twice as many as the first edition. It also discusses the community aspects of paediatric conditions. A new 2-color format and many new illustrations enhance the text. • Uses a symptom-based approach to diagnosing paediatric conditions, mirroring the medical school curriculum and postgraduate examinations. • Approaches diagnosis step by step, reviewing epidemiology, the underlying physiology, history, examination, and investigation. • Includes a summary management box and a case study for each topic. • Covers many new symptoms―nearly 50% more than the previous edition. • Provides expert commentary on specialist topics. • Features a new, two-color layout and many new illustrations. • Highlights the community aspects of paediatric diseases. With 5 additional contributing experts.

Neonatal Infections
(The signs of neonatal sepsis are often subtle: they may b...)
The signs of neonatal sepsis are often subtle: they may by poorly localized and not specifically indicative of infection, so may therefore be mimicked by many non-infectious conditions. Untreated sepsis results in rapid deterioration which is often irreversible. When sepsis is suspected, therefore, the rule in neonatal medicine is to treat early, with or without the benefits of ancillary laboratory tests, and before the results of cultures are available. This appropriate but empirical approach to the management of suspected sepsis generates many problems. The neonatologist has to decide whether invasive investigations, such as lumbar puncture and suprapubic aspiration of urine, should be performed on all babies before starting antibiotics; which babies should be treated, and the relative importance of laboratory and clinical criteria in deciding who to treat; whether to prescribe antibiotics according to a general antiobotic policy or based on the circumstantial evidence provided by surveillance cultures; and how long to continue antibiotics if subsequent cultures are negative. Because antibiotics are frequently prescribed in neonatal units, often for long periods, selection of organisms resistant to one or many antibiotics is a perennial problem. The incidence of fungal infections is increasing, particularly in infants of low birth-weight. The intensive care environment and the extreme susceptibility of the babies who are relatively immunocompromised and justifiably subjected to invasive procedures make hospital-acquired infections a major consideration. The neonatologist may be consulted by obstetric colleagues about the timing of preterm delivery, the relative importance of infection and prematurity in preterm prolonged rupture of the membranes and the possible benefits of giving antibiotics to the mother to prevent neonatal infection. This book is not intended as a comprehensive reference work on neonatal infections. There are medical textbooks in which specific problems with infection are dealt with in an exhaustive manner. The intention in this work is to offer the personal view of the of the authors of the principles and thinking behind the management of neonatal infections, caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi, both in terms of individual babies and in the wider context of all babies in the newborn nursery.
