Clinical Anesthesia for the Newborn and the Neonate by Usha Saha, 2023 The book covers all aspects of anesthesia in newborns, neonates (under 28 days) and premature babies. These patients are highly vulnerable, very small in size and weight, at very high risk, and have high mortality and morbidity, which gets further aggravated by the medical diseases and congenital abnormalities these babies may suffer from. The book provides knowledge that equips the anesthetists with the regional techniques used to provide both anesthesia and analgesia, including information about the drugs used, skills in providing neuraxial blocks, nerve blocks, etc., complications thereof and the specially designed equipment for these patients (IV cannula, endotracheal tubes, ryles tubes, laryngoscopes, SpO2 probes, monitors, incubators, warmers and heaters, mattresses, OT tables). The book covers the pharmacology of drugs used, the effect of anesthetic drugs on the developing brain, pulmonary physiology, airway assessment and management, ventilation modes, getting IV and arterial access, preoperative workup, anesthetic management, and postoperative care. It includes care and concerns from both surgical and anesthesia aspects. It covers all the common surgical diseases along with some rare cases such as oncological concerns, palliative care, ethical concerns and pain management. The book also discusses the role and use of ultrasound. The chapter on anesthesia for short procedures includes common birth and neonatal care injuries. The book contains chapters on fluid therapy, blood and blood product transfusion guidelines and indications, resuscitation of a newborn and neonate, and neonatal rehabilitation to improve neonatal outcomes. It contains a dedicated chapter on why these babies are at a high risk of morbidity and mortality and contributing maternal factors. All the chapters are written by experts in their fields with vast experience. This book bridges the gap in the knowledge of an anesthesiologist between anesthesia for children and adults and newborns, neonates and preterm babies.

Clinical Pharmacology During Pregnancy, 2nd ed. by Donald Mattison; Lee-Ann Halbert, 2022 Clinical Pharmacology During Pregnancy, Second Edition is written for clinicians, physicians, midwives, nurses, pharmacists and other medical professionals involved in the care of women during pregnancy.

This update includes substantially expanded sections on the ethics of pharmacological research in pregnancy and physiologic changes, along with new sections on patient reported outcomes in pregnancy, delivery and postnatal care, and the use of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic approaches to estimate maternal, placental and fetal dosing. The broad range of this book encompasses analgesics, antiasthmatics, antidepressants, heart and circulatory drugs, vitamins and herbal supplements, and more. Topics in chemotherapy and substance abuse are also covered, as are research issues, including clinical trial design and ethical considerations.

Feigin and Cherry's Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 9th ed. by James D. Cherry; Sheldon L. Kaplan; Gail J. Harrison et al, 2025 Throughout the 43 years and nine-edition history of the Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, a number of classic chapters exist (e.g., measles, rubella, enteroviruses, and mycoplasma infections). The data in these chapters are unavailable in any other single-source publication. The entire text of this ninth edition has been revised extensively. The eighth edition contained over 4000 pages, even though we included only new references in the print edition, which is close to the maximum that can be included in a two-volume book. Therefore, with this ninth edition, we were faced with a major dilemma: specifically, how to include new important material that had become available since the eighth edition but not to substantially increase the size of the book. We approached this dilemma in two ways. One problem in previous editions was redundancy, which we have addressed by combining information in some previous separate chapters into more concise single presentations and by shortening some chapters. The second way, which we introduced in the seventh edition, is to print only new references. The electronic version of the text contains all references. This edition continues the format that was initiated in the fourth edition, in that infections with specific microorganisms have been organized to provide appropriate emphasis on the common features that may relate specific microorganisms to one another. Thus, all gram-positive coccal organisms are presented sequentially and are followed by gram-negative cocci, gram-positive bacilli, Enterobacteriaceae, gram-negative coccobacilli, Treponemataceae, anaerobic bacteria, and so forth. In addition, special sections of the text have been devoted to discussions of each of the following: molecular determinants of microbial pathogenesis; immunologic and phagocytic responses to infection; metabolic response of the host to infections; interaction of infection and nutrition; pathogenesis and treatment of fever; the human microbiome; epidemiology and biostatistics of infectious diseases; infections of the compromised host; Kawasaki disease; chronic fatigue syndrome; international travel issues for children; infectious disease problems of international adoptees and refugees; nosocomial infections; prevention and control of infections in hospitalized children; pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic agents; immunomodulating agents; active and passive immunizing agents; public health considerations; infections in daycare environments; and use of the bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, virology, and serology laboratories. The section on infections in the compromised host has again been expanded. This expansion has been necessitated by the large number of children, particularly transplant recipients, who have many infectious disease problems and constitute a large part of the consulting practice of many pediatric infectious disease physicians. With some sadness, we have retained a section on bioterrorism, which is necessitated by the current state of world affairs. The section on immunomodulating agents and their potential use in the treatment of infectious diseases has been expanded because information on this subject has become more extensive since the publication of the last edition.

Neonatal Anesthesia, 2nd ed. by Jerrold Lerman, 2023 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 Charles J. Coté; Jerrold Lerman; Brian J. Anderson, 2025 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.”
