It comprises three sections including chapters related to departmental organization and routines followed from admission to discharge, problem-based protocols that are developed after extensive literature review and some important neonatal procedures. It is not designed to give guidelines for treatment of a diagnosis/condition or impart …knowledge about that particular diagnosis but presents stepwise approach to management of problems associated with it. Algorithms have been provided to make the stepwise approach easier to follow. As an example, the book will not guide how to treat… pneumonia but would focus on the treatment of clinical problems associated with pneumonia, such as respiratory failure, hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, infection, etc. This book is also expected to help make the neonatal care uniform among different neonatal units.
