Hard to reference 3 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Although full of usefull info; it is Very hard to find that info when you need it most. I am an ER PA and would find this pocket reference more useful if it had a better index. As of Jan 2007 I would recommend PEPID ER suite over the Tarascons for those that are handier with PDA's.

A very good pocket reference 4 out of 5 stars.

A very handy pocket reference book for cheap! As good as most Palm programs, but it costs much less. Good for the EM Resident/Attending.

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!

my single most valuable reference book 5 out of 5 stars.
32 of 35 people found this review helpful.

I do locum tenens (temporary) doctoring and when I go on an assignment this is the first book to go in my suitcase. I take it to the office with me in the morning and take it home at night in case I get a question that I need it for. It is clear, concise, comprehensive and as authoritative as any text can be. If you care for or prescribe meds to pregnant or lactating women, this is a "must have".

Drugs in Pregnancy reference 4 out of 5 stars.

Big, bountiful, beautiful book. Heavy, hard to get around, huge for transport reference guide. Quite expensive and not very portable... palm pilot version would be nice or quick, pocket reference....

Great resource 5 out of 5 stars.

I am a CNM and refer to this book often. It is well organized, easy to use and condenses the current research in a clear and succinct manner.

A must-have for nights on-call in the NICU! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This book, particularly the new 5th edition (released in August, 2003) is a must-have for on-call nights in the NICU. Although not as complete in terms of information as a full textbook, this book contains a blurb on nearly every topic one might encounter in the NICU. It is also surprisingly up to date for a textbook, containing the latest standards of care on controversial topics such as PPHN, use of ECMO and BPD, plus lots of other conditions.

This is no longer a spiral-bound book, which has positives and negatives. On the positive side, it's probably more durable long-term - no more ripping of pages and holes out of the spiral. On the negative side, it's harder to keep your page open without bending the spine out of shape.

This is by far the best on-call reference manual for neonatology. It's highly recommended by everyone I speak with, from staff to fellows to residents. I would recommend it as well!

Editorial Review:

Practical and easily accessible manual on the basic and advanced management of the neonate. Covers procedures, disorders, and neonatal pharmacology in a logical outline approach that highlights the essentials of each procedure. The popular On Call Problems section presents over 30 common and serious patient problems. The Fifth Edition has been extensively revised and updated with new strategies for management of specific newborn respiratory diseases, updated information on the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases, and updated drug information.

CHAPTERS ARE CONCISE.LOADED WITH RELEVENT INFORMATION.YOU WILL WISH TO KEEP IT WITH YOU ALWAYS FOR QUICK REFERENCE.

Editorial Review:

This Spiral(R) Manual provides a practical approach to the diagnosis and medical management of newborns. Chapters cover maternal, fetal, and neonatal problems and common neonatal procedures. An outline format provides quick access to a large amount of information, and the outline headings are standardized in this edition. The updated coverage includes new information on fetal assessment, survival of premature infants, and perinatal asphyxia and new guidelines on neonatal jaundice. The popular appendices include effects of maternal drugs on the fetus, maternal medications during lactation, and NICU medication guidelines. A neonatal dosing chart and intubation/sedation guidelines appear on the inside covers.

Excellent book for seasoned nurses to have as a reference or for a new nurse just starting in the neonatal unit. Comprehensive, well organized, easy to read and understand; photos, diagrams very helpful. Well worth the investment!

Too Complicated 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is too difficult to understand. The book says it is a resource for nurses but it talks about how to insert a central catheter and calculating fluid/electrolyte/glucose rquirements which I will not use. It is full of complex formulas and charts that take up entire pages. It is also full of hundreds of statistics that are boring and a waste of my time to read. I was looking for something that starts out more basic and is easier to read. This book is more geared towards physicians or experienced nurses but not new grads starting out in the NICU like myself. Someone reading this book will need an introduction to basic neonatology before they can understand this book.

Excellent Resource 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program provides an excellent overall view to not only stabilizing infants for transport, but caring for them on an everyday basis. STABLE works as an excellent adjuct to NRP, but is NOT a replacement for NRP. I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in the care of neonates - especially those in rural hospitals who rarely deal with ill neonates. As a nurse in a regional referral center NICU, I view this program as a valuable asset to my career.

Editorial Review:

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is a neonatal education program that focuses on the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization care of sick newborns. S.T.A.B.L.E. stands for the 6 assessment parameters covered in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, and Emotional support for the family. The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is designed to provide important information about neonatal stabilization for maternal/infant healthcare providers in all settings - from community hospitals and birth centers, to emergency rooms and hospital environments. This new enhanced fifth edition "Learner Manual" serves as a student handbook for either self-study or instructor-led presentations. Fully reviewed by highly regarded neonatologists, nurses and respiratory therapists, this text includes more than 220 pages, heavily illustrated in full color. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) distributes these S.T.A.B.L.E. publications.
