Produktbeschreibung

This book is a collection of state-of-the-art reviews on the various aspects of nutrition for the preterm neonate, by internationally renowned clinicians and researchers from Australia, UK, USA, Canada, and Italy. It provides the scientific basis and clinical perspective on the A to Z of enteral and parenteral nutrition for extremely preterm neonates, making it valuable for all involved in the care of this high-risk population. The topics covered range from the developmental physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, and early trophic feeds, to aggressive enteral and parenteral nutrition, and feeding under special conditions such as intrauterine growth restriction and chronic lung disease.

Survival of extremely preterm neonates has improved significantly following the advances in neonatal intensive care. Extrauterine growth restriction is recognised as a serious and almost universal issue in this population. Considering the long term consequences of nutritional deficit and poor growth (e.g. neurodevelopmental impairment, short stature and metabolic disorders), optimising nutrition in the early postnatal life of the preterm neonate is crucial. However this is easier said than done considering the frequency of feed intolerance, fear of necrotising enterocolitis, and the hesitancy in adopting an aggressive approach to parenteral nutrition in this population.

The simple and practical approach of this comprehensive and unique book makes it a must read for clinicians as well as researchers involved in neonatal intensive care. It is a useful resource for trainees in neonatology, paediatric gastroenterology, and neonatal nursing, and also for dieticians specialising in neonatal nutrition.

Key features and content:

· Developmental physiology of the gastrointestinal tract

· Systematic review of the evidence in various aspects of nutrition for the preterm neonate

· Evidence-based practice innutrition for the preterm neonate

· Current gaps in knowledge and directions for further research

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is a collection of state-of-the-art reviews that fully covers many of the dilemmas of providing nutritional support for the frail population of premature neonates. ... it will be more useful to those in academic fields who can interpret the many studies it cites ... . This is a well done, comprehensive reference on issues in providing nutrition to preterm infants. ... anyone wishing to find the scientific evidence underlying many of the practices in premature nutrition will find this an invaluable resource." -- Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014
