Fanaroff and Martin's Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, 12th ed. by
It is with a deep sense of satisfaction and great pride that we write this preface, which indicates that our task of revising the book has been completed. This twelfth edition represents the tenth time we have updated this textbook, originally published by the late Richard Behrman, MD, JD, who gifted it to us when he became the senior editor of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics . Each edition has presented special challenges as knowledge in the field of neonatal perinatal medicine has increased exponentially. Indeed, since the fifth edition we have been forced to present the material in two volumes. Having been on task now for 40 years, we are comfortable with the format of this text, commencing with the history of the subspecialty, followed by big data management; perinatal care; disorders of pregnancy and their impact on the fetus; delivery room care, including a special section on care of the cord; and disorders of the various organ systems. The importance of quality improvement and outcomes from multicentered organizations such as Pediatrix are highlighted. Japan has emerged with excellent outcomes for periviable babies, so we have added a special chapter on their approach to care in keeping with the international focus of this text and its contributors. As in prior editions, we have added new authors, experts in their respective fields, to about 25% of the chapters. Each chapter has been updated and carefully referenced with an attempt to retain only key references. The focus remains on evidence-based medicine as we search to move to personalized medicine. Evidence-based medicine identifies what will happen to a group but not the individual. We deal with individuals, and the next steps to personalized medicine will be a huge leap forward, especially as we better understand the individual responses to pharmacologic agents.

Neonatal Anesthesia, 2nd ed. by
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. 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. He has amassed a team of recognized international experts in neonatal anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care to share their knowledge in managing neonates for the challenges they face both within and without the surgical suites. Neonatal Anesthesia, the 2nd edition, is the quintessential clinical reference for perioperative care of these small patients that should be read by trainees as well as experienced clinicians and is certain to become 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 ... . The text covers its subject matter in extraordinary breadth and depth. ... Throughout the book there are illustrative and clinically relevant diagrams, nicely supporting and summarizing relevant text for the more visual learner. ... 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. ... textbook should hold an essential and required spot on the bookshelf of any anaesthetist or critical care physician who cares for neonates. ... The reference lists are comprehensive and exhaustive. 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 covers in 400-plus pages and 17 chapters most of what is known about the neonatal airway, physiology, drugs and anesthetics, with separate chapters on each subcategory of neonatal anesthesia. ... Certainly pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists who only occasionally care for children, students, residents, and fellows will appreciate this book. ... This is a large book on a narrow topic that has increasing relevance to the field of current pediatric practice. It is well written, well illustrated, and highly useful." (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015) "The book has many outstanding chapters that have been thoughtfully crafted by leading researchers in specific fields. ... this book is an essential addition to any pediatric anesthesiology library in any organization that provides care to neonates. This book is an excellent resource, not only for anesthesiologists at every level of training and expertise but also for other professionals who provide postoperative care, administer sedative drugs, control the airway, and undertake procedures in newborn infants." (Carolyne Montgomery and J. Mark Ansermino, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 62, 2015)

A Practice of Anesthesia for Infants and Children, 7th ed. by
A Practice of Anesthesia for Infants and Children, Seventh Edition , has continued to evolve from its humble beginnings in 1986 with only 304 pages in the first edition to more than 1100 pages in this, the seventh edition. Of the founding coeditors, Dr. Nishan Goudsouzian has retired from practice and Dr. I. David Todres and Dr. John F. Ryan have passed. Two new coeditors joined to fill the vacancies left by these giants in our field: Dr. Jerrold Lerman joined for the fourth edition and Dr. Brian J Anderson for the fifth edition.
The current edition includes 115 authors from five continents, 53 of whom are new contributors. The book continues to be a highly respected, evidence-based synopsis of the practice of pediatric anesthesia reflecting a broad perspective of reasoning and practice from a host of international experts. As in past editions, many of the current authors are board certified in pediatrics and anesthesiology, surgery, nursing, and a number of pediatric subspecialties, enhancing our understanding of hematology, pulmonology, cardiology, nephrology, hepatology, and neurology. All chapters are meticulously referenced with up to a dozen annotated references that reflect pivotal publications on the topic of the chapter in the printed version with the full list of references at Elsevier eBooks+ with hypertext links to PubMed.org .
To navigate this edition more easily, we have continued several notable changes that we introduced in the last edition. The book is divided into 10 color-coded sections: Introduction, Drug and Fluid Therapy, The Chest, The Heart, The Brain and Glands, The Abdomen, Other Surgeries, Emergencies, Pain, and Special Topics. This format allows the reader to identify sections under broad headings and then within each section, to find specific subjects of interest. We have again sought contributions from pediatric subspecialists who share their perspectives and insights and paired them with a pediatric anesthesiologist to ensure that the basic science is intertwined with a practical anesthesiology clinical perspective. These are the “Essentials” chapters.
Our text is accompanied by a website that contains many supplemental pictures, tables, figures, and video clips that will enhance the readers’ experiences, particularly for performing regional anesthesia and vascular access procedures. A pocket reference card provides general recommendations for doses of commonly used medications by weight and other useful guides such as appropriately sized airway devices, and other quick references.
As with previous editions of our textbook, the current revision involved quite a journey reflecting a microcosm of the world and life in general with many contributors having experienced challenges such as loss of loved ones, personal crises, illness, and others including the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic during the writing of their chapters. Despite these obstacles, our authors have succeeded in crafting masterful chapters to create what we hope you will agree is an up-to-date state of the art text in pediatric anesthesia; the entire text and E-only content is also available for purchase as an eBook.
Once again, while assembling this new edition, the editors spent many days, evenings, and weekends debating controversial issues and crafting the language of the chapters such that all chapters were edited and reviewed by all three editors and common ground reached. This is an especially useful exercise since it improves the readability of the text and represents a fusion of the USA, Canadian, and New Zealand approaches to pediatric anesthesia that combines our global experience and understanding.
We believe that A Practice of Anesthesia for Infants and Children, Seventh edition , continues to provide a framework for residency and fellowship training in pediatric anesthesia globally and will continue to be a valuable resource for passing the subspecialty boards in pediatric anesthesiology as well as a resource for practicing pediatric anesthesiologists and other pediatric care providers around the world. When we look back to the first edition of Leigh and Belton’s Pediatric Anesthesia (1948), the editors stated that “This book ....discusses many of the methods which the authors have employed satisfactorily over a period of years”. Similarly, Smith stated in his first edition of Smith’s Anesthesia for Infants and Children (1959) that “My intention in writing this book is to organize and evaluate this information and to add what I can from first-hand experience and observation.” Dripps, Eckenhoff, & Vandam’s Introduction to Anesthesia (1977), the first anesthesia textbook CJC used as a resident, stated that “ Much of the teaching of anesthesia is by word of mouth.... This is the lore of anesthesia that must be passed on from individual to individual.”

Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Deformation, 5th ed. by
Since Peter Dunn and David Smith presented the basic concepts of deformation in 1975–1976, it has become accepted that unusual mechanical forces are responsible for a wide variety of structural birth defects. The impact of mechanical forces on form not only has provided an understanding of extrinsic constraint deformations, but it has also led to the appreciation that many malformation sequences can be interpreted as arising from an initiating malformation that results in altered mechanical forces and a cascade of intrinsic deformations. This biomechanical perspective provides a better understanding of the importance of mechanical forces in normal morphogenesis.
The major emphasis of Smith’s Recognizable Patterns of Human Deformation is on extrinsic constraint deformations that are secondary to crowding in utero. These should, to the extent possible, be distinguished from malformations with or without secondary intrinsic deformations. Not only are there major differences in the etiology, prognosis, management, and recurrence risk for extrinsic deformations, but also there are profound differences in the prognosis that can be conveyed to the child's parents. The child with extrinsic deformation can usually be interpreted as normal, and the parents can look forward to the restoration of normal form. This attitude toward considering extrinsic deformations as a separable category of birth defects is also critical in providing better answers relative to etiology and prevention. The etiologic factors that cause extrinsic deformation are obviously very different from those that cause malformation problems, which is a critical distinction that has not always been appreciated in epidemiologic studies. The preventive measures for extrinsic deformations are also different and entail such considerations as external cephalic version for fetal malpresentation and/or possible surgical reconstruction of a malformed uterus. Furthermore, because extrinsic deformations are more common in infants of primigravida mothers and in larger fetuses, it is quite reasonable to anticipate that the incidence of extrinsic deformations might increase because of smaller families and/or larger babies.
The basic principles of extrinsic deformation are simple. The magnitude and direction of force have a direct impact on form. These same simple precepts are relevant to the management of deformations. With rare exceptions, correction can be accomplished by the rational application of subtle forces. Over the course of the last 43 years, since collecting the data for the first edition of this book (1981), this knowledge has become an integral part of medicine because extrinsic deformations are common, and these basic concepts have become well established. The overall concepts that relate to the developmental pathology, diagnosis, and management of extrinsic deformations are simple and easily understood by primary care providers and subspecialists, as well as by parents. In recent times there has been a tendency to look for more complex answers of a biochemical, molecular, or physiologic nature, and to bypass the simple mechanistic approaches. Hence this book is dedicated to bringing the mechanical aspects of morphogenesis and deformation into the mainstream of medicine, where they belong.
Very few studies of extrinsic deformation in experimental animals have been done. One reason is that few creatures other than humans tend to outgrow the uterus before birth and to have constraint deformations at birth. Most other animals are born at a much more mature state of development, ready to stand and run away from predators; however, humans are unable to stand and run for almost a year after birth. Humans spend much of their infancy in a recumbent position, which may lead to deformation if the infant's resting position is not purposefully varied. This is one price the slowly aging, rapidly growing, large-brained human must pay for his or her present level of evolvement. One major aspect of human evolution is the prolonged period necessary to complete human brain development, such that the human brain continues to grow slowly over a much longer time than that necessary for other primates. It takes 6 months of postnatal growth for the human brain to reach the proportions found in a chimpanzee at birth. Thus, human gestation would take an additional 7 to 8 months if human neonates were to be born at the same stage of maturity as other primate infants. This continued growth of the human brain appears to leave the human cranium much more vulnerable to mechanical forces than that of other species. To accommodate this continued growth of the brain, the cranial sutures remain open for decades, while the plates of cranial bone continue to afford protection to the developing brain.
Congenital deformations are common, with most resolving spontaneously within the first few days of postnatal life. When such prompt resolution does not take place, further evaluation may be necessary to plan therapeutic interventions and prevent long-term negative consequences. This book provides a rational approach for the diagnosis and management of such deformations. Information concerning unusual intrauterine positions should be transmitted to physicians caring for such newborns in the nursery. When such data are properly interpreted, it can guide further evaluation and therapy and be vastly reassuring to the parents. Prompt treatment of deformations leads to prompt resolution of such problems, whereas delays in treatment sometimes lead to permanent alterations and residual deformations, which can have long-term implications.

With proven techniques and "how to" guidance, this newly revised and updated seventh edition of the definitive publication on neonatal care provides a wealth of in-depth information on the assessment of the newborn. Catherine L. Witt and Carol M. Wallman continue the legacy began by their predecessors Ellen Tappero and Mary Ellen Honeyfield to lead a seventh edition emphasizing the importance of timely interaction between health providers and new parents. A new chapter on communication demonstrates the value of using inclusive language when working with diverse communities and populations, which is a perspective embraced throughout the text. Complementing the wisdom of longtime chapter contributors are the voices of several esteemed new practitioners and authors. This empirically grounded text addresses the physical, physiologic, neurologic, and behavioral implications of a thorough assessment, and explains how healthcare providers can reduce the risks associated with the birthing process and the neonatal period. Common findings and variations are not only illustrated but clearly described. Also included is key information on behavioral and pain assessment, including the use of specific tools with various newborn populations. The book details the importance of gathering maternal and family history, antepartum testing, and intrapartum monitoring, as well as the early detection of variations which may require follow-up, including common treatments.

Volpe's Neurology of the Newborn, 7th ed. by
The 40 years since the publication of the first edition of this book have witnessed a remarkable evolution of the discipline of the neurology of the newborn. In 1981, when the first edition was published, in the preface I expressed a sense of a “new frontier” to be pioneered. Currently, articles on neonatal neurology are abundant in the major clinical journals in the fields of pediatrics, neurology, neonatology, perinatology, and obstetrics, among others, and in multiple scientific journals of the many neurobiological disciplines. Moreover, annual meetings of scientific societies in these fields are replete with clinical studies and clinical and basic research on the neurology of the newborn. Thus venturing into the new frontier sensed in 1981 has led to an extraordinarily exciting discipline and, perhaps most importantly, to the promise of effective interventions to prevent or ameliorate neurological disability in our neonatal patients.
As with previous editions, this book is intended for a broad audience, from the most highly specialized neonatal physicians to those with a broader, more general perspective. This breadth of focus creates challenges in writing. We have avoided presenting a compendium of disembodied facts and, rather, have attempted to create a scaffold of principles upon which the ever-expanding corpus of relevant information is added. A particular effort has been exerted to bring the latest science into the clinical setting, with a special emphasis on translating new knowledge to the infant’s bedside.
To facilitate the fundamental messaging throughout the book, we have made liberal use of tables and boxes to synthesize major points. The great illustrative value of figures, in the form of flow diagrams, key experimental findings, clinical and pathological specimens, and all types of state-of-the-art neuroimaging, is emphasized in every chapter. Approximately 1000 figures are presented in this edition.
The explosion of new knowledge from the study of the newborn is reflected in the citation of more than 17,000 references. Although they are numbered consecutively in the text, the reference list in the print edition contains only the most recent citations, but all are contained in the list in the online edition.
The organization of the book is similar to that of the sixth edition, but with an addition of five chapters, for a total of 43. The chapters are presented in 14 units. Unit I contains eight chapters that address human brain development and the disorders that present when this development is disturbed. Molecular genetics, advanced imaging, and modern-day neuropathological and neuroembryological studies have greatly advanced this area. Unit II, new to this edition, contains three chapters that address fetal neurology and illustrate the importance of understanding and investigating the maternal-fetal origins of neonatal disease. The third unit, concerning the neurological evaluation, describes new methodologies to study the newborn brain, including advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. A new chapter on neurodevelopmental follow-up has been added to this unit. The fourth unit focuses entirely on neonatal seizures and has been expanded significantly. This unit serves as an effective bridge to the subsequent disease-focused units.
Unit V, the largest in the book, consists of 10 chapters and addresses the critical area of hypoxic-ischemic and related disorders, especially those involving systemic/neuroinflammation. Each of these chapters has been updated and revised accordingly. A new chapter on inflammation has been added to this unit. Unit VI addresses intracranial hemorrhage and involves three chapters. Major advances in the study of intraventricular hemorrhage, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebellar hemorrhage, and new MRI-delineated lesions (for example, subpial hemorrhage) are emphasized. Unit VII addresses metabolic encephalopathies, involving particularly glucose, bilirubin, and amino acid and organic acid metabolism. New insights into molecular genetics, pathogenetic mechanisms, and management are highlighted. Unit VIII comprises a single chapter on degenerative disorders. Emphasis is placed on major insights provided by molecular genetics and advances in therapies. Unit IX addresses neuromuscular disorders. The four chapters in this unit are notably comprehensive and emphasize recent advances in diagnosis by molecular genetics and in treatment. Unit X on intracranial infections includes chapters on viral, protozoan, and related intracranial infections and on bacterial and fungal infections. These two chapters have been greatly expanded. Unit XI focuses on perinatal trauma and a wide variety of injuries involving intracranial structures, the spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Unit XII addresses intracranial mass lesions, especially brain tumors and vein of Galen malformations. Especially emphasized are new insights into molecular characterization of brain tumors and the relation of this characterization to management and outcomes. Advances in diagnosis and management of vein of Galen malformations are presented. Unit XIII is a single chapter on drugs and the developing nervous system. Recent insights into the spectrum of drugs involved, the related prenatal and postnatal syndromes, and optimal management are described in this appreciably expanded chapter. The final unit contains a new chapter that illustrates the disappointing gap in resources available in low-resource settings and the resulting adverse effects on incidence of injuries and outcomes.
