This volume of Clinics in Perinatology will examine the latest techniques in mechanical ventilation, including both conventional and high frequency ventilation. It will critically review newer ventilatory modalities, such as pressure support, volume targeted ventilation, and volume guarantee. Exogenous surfactant therapy will also be addressed, highlighting recent developments. In addition, articles will address current and future directions in the management of neonatal respiratory failure.

The diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems in the newborn have advanced significantly over recent years, although respiratory failure remains an important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of respiratory physiology in the newborn, and of the mechanism underlying respiratory failure in this age group. It goes on to present in detail the techniques, both novel and well established, for effective ventilatory support. In presenting and evaluating the available treatment modalities, the authors consider not only clinical indications, modes of delivery and monitoring, but also complications and outcomes. Comprehensive and up to date, this is an essential handbook and reference for clinicians in neonatal medicine, that will help to optimise their management of respiratory failure in the newborn.

Designed to be a working guide, this text provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of assisted ventilation. Includes chapters on control of ventilation, specialized ventilator techniques and modalities, and exogenous surfactant therapy. Pulmonary management techniques such as liquid ventilation and nitric oxide are also discussed. Ventilatory management case studies test diagnostic and clinical abilities with problems drawn from actual clinical files!

Innovations and Frontiers in Neonatology provides up-to-date information for clinicians and scientists interested in perinatal medicine. Neonatal transition, neonatal medicine from a global perspective, aspects of care including nutrition, respiratory and temperature management, resuscitation, family-centered approaches, and problems of the term newborn are covered as are complications and long-term consequences of preterm birth. Should we ventilate and how? What are the lifelong consequences of being born too small? How can we protect the neonatal brain? Can we actively influence the microbiome? Can we achieve individualized medicine with the help of metabolomics, for example? Are stem cells the miracle cure? These are just a few of the questions that world experts cover in this book while, at the same time, they take a look at the future of neonatal medicine.
