NPR 5th edition 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The new NPR 5th edition is an excellent resource for anyone needing to prepare for certification for NPR (i.e. ob/neonatal nurses, OB's, pediatricians, perinatologists, etc)

It is easy to read, has repitition that allows reinforcement of principles learned throughout the text. Quizzes appear throughout to assist in retention and integration of information.

The DVD-ROM included in the book is improved over the last one. For the visual learner, this is most helpful. The DVD-ROM includes, computer generated images, scenarios, and the book quizzes as well. An excellent adjunct to the book, that can be used as a stand-alone review.

There are a few discrepancies between the book and the DVD-ROM, but overall the set together is worth the price.

There is also the availability to take the NPR written examination on-line and then locate an instructor to complete the practical sessions. This is helpful for any busy practitioner when needing to schedule this exam, since the written component has close to 100 questions.

Editorial Review:

The new fifth edition provides students with a complete self-study program, including case scenarios for each major resuscitation technique; Medication Performance Checklist; required megacode; review modules, and more. Also, included with the text is the new interactive DVD, which includes video of actual resuscitations, laryngoscopic camera footage, interactive scenarios, plus 3-D demonstrations and other visuals not found in the book.

I used to have this with me everywhere i went. Useful for all pediatrics. Probably the best mini-pocket pedi book. You can put it in the chest pocket. Let a student who wanted to go into ER borrow it. Neve got it back. Bas-tard!

Editorial Review:

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kenneth A. Lane has designed Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills: An Activity Workbook to help occupational therapists, optometrists, and other professionals develop the ocular motor and visual perceptual skills of learning disabled children.

To establish a framework for understanding, each chapter begins with the scientific theories used to develop the activity forms. Insightful suggestions are included on how to solidify the program's success.

The easy-to-follow activity forms are then presented, along with numerous illustrations that help develop ocular motor and visual perceptual skills. The forms are divided into as many as five levels of difficulty so both children and teenagers can benefit from each activity.

Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills contains daily lesson plans and practical tips on how to successfully start an activities program. Other helpful features include a glossary of terms and a reference list of individuals and organizations that work with learning disabled children to develop these skills.

The first of its kind, Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills utilizes a learning approach by linking the theories with the remediation activities to help learning disabled children improve their perceptual and fine motor skills. All professionals looking to assess and enhance a variety of fine motor and visual perception deficiencies will welcome this workbook into their practices.

Topics include:

• Complexity of reading
• Ocular motor
• Gross motor
• Visual-motor perception
• Visual memory
• Laterality
• Reversals

A practical hands-on tool for fast, accurate clinical diagnosis in pediatric emergencies

. .

Pediatric patients can represent as much as 35% of all emergency department visits. This atlas comes to the rescue of harried ED clinicians by providing a quick-access resource packed with visual clues to injuries and illnesses presenting in emergency situations from infancy through adolescence.

. .

Doctors Shah and Lucchesi have compiled an extraordinary collection of their best clinical photographs and imaging studies, and combined them with a practical, easily retrievable text. This combination promises to expedite diagnosis as well as guide the clinician to the appropriate management of pediatric trauma and disease.

. . . .

Atlas Of Pediatric Emergency Medicine puts at your fingertips:

. .

More than 550 top-quality color clinical photographs, and more than 250 imaging studies that include X-rays, CT scans and more -- making it the single most comprehensive visual compilation available for diagnosing pediatric emergencies. .

Comprehensive coverage of disorders of all body systems, including trauma. .

Authoritative, experienced guidance. The Atlas has been edited, compiled, and largely written by two distinguished experts -- one a physician peer-evaluated as one of the finest clinicians and teachers in Emergency Medicine today, the other the overseer of one of the largest, busiest EDs in the United States. Together they have more than 50 years of experience in emergency care. .

Consistent formatting in an outline that provides immediate access to clinical features, differential diagnosis, consultation, treatment and disposition, complications, and clinical pearls. .

A superb preparation tool for board exams and subspecialty certification. .

An unparalleled resource for every medical professional caring for children, from ED clinicians and physicians in family or pediatric practice to nurse practitioners and paramedics. . . . (20060908)

AAP's PEPP 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

As prehospital professionals, we know several things about children; on average only 10% of our patients are pediatrics; we are aware of physiological differences based on age; we know how quickly they decompensate and pediatric calls make most of us very nervous. I read this book in conjunction with taking a 16 hour course on care for children by prehospital professionals; I found the information to be very helpful and know that my comfort level in the field when working with pediatric patients and their parents has been improved as a result. I highly suggest this book (and course) to all EMT's and 'medics.

Recommend for all Pre-Hospital Providers 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is a must-have for any EMT or Paramedic. It is an easy read but does require a baseline knowledge. It is best used to review during or after your EMT training.
Pros: this book is tailored for all levels. Each topic has a basic level target and then is followed by a clearly marked "Advanced Life Support" section making it easy to get what you want out of the book based on your interest and education.
-Easy to read, not really a strict textbook format
-Excellent points in exam and development stage based approach
-2nd Ed. incorporates 2005 AHA guidelines
-Step by step and photographed procedure index for all skills
Cons: The only con I could find was a lack of some great points from the PALS textbook when compared.
The book alone is filled with pearls of pediatric care so if you cant make a course to get your certification, this book alone will improve your care!

Be safe

Eh... 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Eh....not much of the bullet format. I like the Secret's books better. Might as well read a text.

This is a great book to use in the ER to study, since you can read a question and answer during your down time.
