Hemostasis Management of the Pediatric Surgical Patient by
Hemostasis Management of the Pediatric Surgical Patient provides knowledge on the emerging area of pediatric hemostasis and its management. It discusses aspects of perioperative blood management in the pediatric population, including how to accurately estimate and monitor bleeding and determine optimal treatment regimens for bleeding in pediatric surgical patients. It also provides information on the implementation of intraoperative blood conservation strategies, goal-directed transfusion therapy, and postoperative estimation of bleeding and thrombotic risks. This book is a valuable resource to pediatric practitioners and researchers who need comprehensive information on pediatric hematology, from basic physiology to pre-, intra- and postoperative care of pediatric patients. The coagulation system of children evolves with age as evidenced by marked physiological differences in the concentration of hemostatic proteins between children of different age groups and adults. Consequently, there are distinct differences in hemostatic management between adult and pediatric patients.

Nadas' Pediatric Cardiology, 3d ed. by
In the preface to the first edition of his pediatric cardiology textbook published in 1957, Alexander S. Nadas stated: “I do not intend to write a reference book.....I hope to put proper emphasis on clinical recognition and management.” Subsequent editions in 1964, 1972, 1994, and 2006 by Dr. Nadas and his successors at Boston Children’s Hospital remained true to this theme by providing a solid clinical foundation without trying to be encyclopedic. We upheld the tradition for this new volume by including enough material to orient the reader to the modern complexities of pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery while still ensuring the most important take-home messages for each chapter could be fully digested after a single reading. Likewise, the number of references has been kept deliberately short to better focus our audience on landmark articles and useful reviews. If we have done our job correctly, this should whet the reader’s appetite for more in-depth information to be acquired by studying contemporary journals and caring for actual patients. The latter activity, after all, will always be the undisputed gold standard in medical education.
In addition to providing a general update on diagnosis and treatment, this new edition incorporates several changes to enhance the learning experience. First, most chapters open with five key teaching points highlighting critical content. Second, our cardiac surgeons have taken an active role as coauthors on multiple chapters to provide a more comprehensive view of patient management. Third, new chapters have been added focusing on timely topics such as the failing Fontan circulation, pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease, novel surgical approaches to single ventricle, and evolving transcatheter interventions for hemodynamic lesions and arrhythmias. Finally, our publishing partners at Elsevier have kindly agreed to provide a companion e-book version (complete with video loops) that can be accessed from personal electronic devices. We hope such refinements will prove valuable to our readers at all stages of their careers. It should also be noted that we have refrained from making firm recommendations on medication dosages in this new addition, since textbooks are by nature too static to keep up with evolving data. Readers are referred to web-based or hospital-based formularies that are continuously updated with best-practice dosage guidelines.
As was the custom in previous editions, authors have been drawn primarily from the faculty within our own program. While this introduces a certain degree of institutional bias into management recommendations, we do not mean to suggest our approach is the exclusive way to treat heart disease in the young, but only that it has proven effective in our center’s experience. Reference lists have been constructed carefully to ensure that alternate approaches are suitably recognized.
Well over 60 years have passed since Dr. Nadas’ original textbook was published. To appreciate how far we have come over that time span, just consider his 1957 description of the prognosis for transposition of the great arteries: “ The clinical course is a grim one. Of our 36 patients, 12 died in the first month, 13 between one and four months, and only 3 lived beyond one year. Death approaches with catastrophic rapidity .” We are grateful to Dr. Nadas and the generations of clinicians who followed in his footsteps that such is no longer the case.
