The National Certification Corporation (NCC) is pleased to announce the release of the Handbook of Neonatal Neurology ISBN 978-0-9890198-6-6. Created because Every NICU is a Neuro-NICU!
CHICAGO, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — This handbook represents expertise from specialists throughout the USA and Canada. It will assist health care providers in their understanding and care of neurologically compromised and at-risk neonates.
The Handbook of Neonatal Neurology follows the continuum of neuro-compromised and neuroprotective care, with each chapter organized in an easy-to-follow outline format.
The book opens with the fundamental knowledge of normal central nervous system development and a thorough neurological examination of the neonate, with a focus on identifying even subtle abnormalities.
Additional chapters provide details on common brain malformations and abnormalities, metabolic encephalopathies, degenerative and neuromuscular disorders, perinatal asphyxia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, central nervous system infections, perinatal and postnatal head trauma, stroke, and seizures.
Developmental vulnerability of the preterm brain is highlighted with additional discussions on intraventricular hemorrhage and associated preterm brain lesions, and the neurological effects of pain, stress, and sedation.
Finally, additional management guidance is provided for neuroprotection, developmentally supportive care, family centered care, and the approach to ethical, legal, and palliative care.
This 400-page publication is for neonatal health care providers who are committed to optimizing neurodevelopmental outcomes in these vulnerable babies.
