Guidelines For Acute Care Of The Neonate Edition 22 20142015 22nd Edition James M Adams by James M. Adams, Caraciolo J. Fernandes instant download after payment.

Purpose The purpose of these guidelines is to help neonatology fellows, pediatric house officers, and others with the usual routines followed in caring
for common problems encountered in acute care of the neonate. These guidelines were designed by the Section of Neonatology, Baylor
College of Medicine (BCM). Where appropriate, national guidelines or reference to peer-reviewed scientific investigations are cited to help in
the decision-making process. Also, regional traits unique to the southeast Texas patient population are considered when appropriate. The guidelines
are reviewed and revised annually (or more frequently as necessary) as new evidence and recommendations for clinical care become available. Users
should refer to the most recent edition of these guidelines.
Dedication
These guidelines are dedicated to Dr. Arnold J. Rudolph (1918-1993), who taught the art of neonatology and whose life continues to
touch us in innumerable ways

These are guidelines only and may not be applicable to populations outside the BCM Affiliated Hospitals. These guidelines do not
represent official policy of Texas Children’s Hospital, Ben Taub Hospital, BCM, or the BCM Department of Pediatrics, nor are they

admission and all significant new developments must be discussed with the fellow on call and with the attending neonatologist on
rounds. All users of this material should be aware of the possibility of changes to this handbook and should use the most recently
published guidelines.
