Golden Hours Care of the Very Low Birth Weight Neonate

by Robin L. Bissinger, David J. Annibale, Bresney A. Fanning

This second edition of Golden Care of the Very Low Birth Weight Neonate has been re-organized to provide the reader better transitions between subject matter. This edition has also been expanded with new chapters, including “Procedures for Care and Management in the Delivery Room” and “Umbilical Cord Clamping and Transition at Birth”. Time is of the essence when dealing with the Golden Hours, that short window to intervene on behalf of a very low birth weight infant. VLBW neonates comprise the majority of high-risk deliveries. Even when these neonates are vigorous and crying, pink and well-perfused, they are at risk. Decisions made in the first hours of life can result in a smooth transition to extrauterine life or can hasten and worsen maladaptation. Representing expertise from specialists from around the country (and world), Golden Care of the Very Low Birth Weight Neonate, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive guide that can help you change the outcome for an at-risk neonate.

This was very helpful information! I’m studying for my ELBW and this was helpful! I also read this cover to back and honestly I don’t normally do that with text books! But I highly recommend this book for my colleagues not just for certifications but for neonatal care in general!

A must read for anyone working in the NICU or in neonatal transport. Many important sections also pertinent to Obstetrics and women’s health.
