Preface
The original idea for this handbook arose from files of clinical guidelines
from our own neonatal unit. Our ethos in developing these guidelines was
that they should avoid dogma and provide practical guidance rather than
rigid rules and regulations. These have been rewritten to provide much of
the practical advice given in this handbook, with succinct background notes
added to each topic. We hope this will provide enough detail to inform
medical and nursing staff at all levels and act as an aide-memoire to those
with more experience in the specialty. Practical guidance and a suggested
approach to different clinical situations have been written using the best
available evidence, but we have relied on consensus of opinion where evi-
dence is lacking.
This second edition has a revised chapter order and a new chapter on
neonatal endocrinology, with updates to all other sections reflecting recent
changes and evidence in the specialty.
