But, this edition includes more conditions than the previous one, and we hope that future editions will cover the entire gamut of neonatal care.Ĭompared to writing a textbook, editing a protocol book is far more challenging.
The manual certainly does not cover all the conditions that a healthcare provider might encounter in his day-to-day practice. 'AIIMS Protocols in Neonatology' attempts to fill that void. But the students, residents, practitioners, and other stakeholders still find themselves at loss looking for a reliable and up-to-date source of information on newborn health and there exists a space for a concise book that serves as a brief guide for holistic management of a newborn. There is actually plethora of information available in the form of books, internet resources, and CMEs amongst others in any field of medicine including neonatology. Some of them do pertain to rare conditions but, we believe they would serve as simple yet comprehensive resource materials on different aspects of neonatal care. The current edition has 27 new protocols. The manual has been thoroughly updated by incorporating new evidence, deleting redundant material, and correcting inadvertent errors (thanks to many readers who provided their diligent feedback). We are delighted to present the second edition of 'AIIMS Protocols in Neonatology'. AIIMS protocols in Neonatology 2019, Noble Vision Publishers, Delhi
