5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for nights on-call in the NICU!, September 19, 2003

This review is from: Neonatology : Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, Drugs (LANGE Clinical Science) (Paperback)

This book, particularly the new 5th edition (released in August, 2003) is a must-have for on-call nights in the NICU. Although not as complete in terms of information as a full textbook, this book contains a blurb on nearly every topic one might encounter in the NICU. It is also surprisingly up to date for a textbook, containing the latest standards of care on controversial topics such as PPHN, use of ECMO and BPD, plus lots of other conditions.

This is no longer a spiral-bound book, which has positives and negatives. On the positive side, it's probably more durable long-term - no more ripping of pages and holes out of the spiral. On the negative side, it's harder to keep your page open without bending the spine out of shape.

This is by far the best on-call reference manual for neonatology. It's highly recommended by everyone I speak with, from staff to fellows to residents. I would recommend it as well!

This book is very easy to read and very informational. It covers NICU info rom the delivery room to procedures and concepts such as RDS and PDAs. It also has information on managing Central lines and Vents. I highly reccomend it.

I am a first year resident on my first NICU rotation. I had bought the book on the advise of the senior residents and fellows. I really found the book to be concise and at the same time exhaustive. Definitely recommend this book.
