F oreword

A successful transition from fetal to neonatal life is dependent upon the profound cardiorespiratory adaptations occurring at this time. Unfortunately, these events frequently require medical intervention, especially in preterm infants. The conse-quences of the resultant pathophysiologic changes and therapeutic interventions in such neonates may have long lasting effects on the developing respiratory system and even the neurodevelopmental outcome of this high-risk population.

Recognition of the importance of neonatal respiratory management was an early milestone in the history of neonatology. The role of surfactant defi ciency in the etiology of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome was sealed over 50 years ago, and this paved the way for the introduction of assisted ventilation for this population in the 1960s. I was privileged to be introduced to neonatal pediatrics in the early 1970s at a time when the advent of continuous positive airway pressure demon-strated how physiologic insight can be translated into effective therapy. The decade of the 1970s offered so many other innovations in neonatal respiratory care. These included noninvasive blood gas monitoring, xanthine therapy for apnea, and our fi rst real understanding of the pathogenesis and management of meconium aspira-tion syndrome, group B streptococcal pneumonia, and persistent fetal circulation or primary pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, three frequently interrelated con-ditions. The decade ended in remarkable fashion with the introduction of exogenous surfactant therapy and recognition that the novel new technique of high-frequency ventilation allows effective gas exchange in sick neonates.

The last 30 years have enabled us to build drastically on the foundation of this earlier period in neonatal respiratory management. The improved survival of extremely low birth weight infants has been nothing short of spectacular. For pre-term infants, the focus is now clearly to reduce the unacceptably high incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, many key questions in neonatal respiratory care still need to be addressed. What constitutes optimal ventilatory strategy and optimal targets for gas exchange as refl ected in levels of PaO

support, such as inhaled nitric oxide, xanthine, or antioxidant therapy, to name a few? How can we safely support ventilation and provide pharmacotherapy in the most noninvasive manner?

For preterm or term infants with malformations of the respiratory system, advances in pre- and postnatal imaging and surgical techniques hold promise for improved outcome. Great strides are being made simultaneously in our understand-ing of the molecular basis for normal and abnormal lung development. Furthermore, it is being increasingly recognized that genotypic characteristics may greatly infl u-ence the consequences of subsequent environmental exposures on lung develop-ment. These scientifi c advances need to be translated into improving adverse neonatal outcomes, such as the unacceptably high rate of wheezing disorders and asthma in the survivors of neonatal intensive care. As care providers to neonates, it is our responsibility to encourage clinical trials and other patient-based investiga-tion that will allow us to optimize the outcome of neonatal respiratory care.

The third edition of the Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care is comprehensive and provides an important educational tool to address many of these challenges. It is, again, thoroughly edited by the accomplished trans-Atlantic team of Steven Donn and Sunil Sinha. Once again, they have assembled physician/scientist leaders in the fi eld of Developmental Pulmonology who provide a true international perspective to neonatal respiratory care. Both prior and new contributors provide a concise overview that spans neonatal physiology, pathogenesis of disease, and unique approaches to management of both simple and complex neonatal respiratory disorders. The result is a comprehensive text that provides a strongly international insight into neonatal respiratory care in a user-friendly, practical format.

Preface

It is indeed a privilege for us to edit the third edition of the Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care , and we were honored when Springer Science+Business Media approached us to do this.

In the years that have passed since the second edition, much has transpired, some technological and some philosophical. Microprocessor-based technology continues to refi ne the equipment at our disposal and to offer us almost limitless ways to man-age neonatal respiratory failure. At the same time, there has been a resurgence in the philosophy of minimal intervention, giving rise to the new popularity of continuous positive airway pressure and noninvasive ventilation. We have entered the age of evidence-based medicine, emphasizing the importance of the randomized, con-trolled trial. We have seen enormous growth in information technology and world-wide access to it. Therapeutic options also continue to expand, but greater care must be taken as survival of even more premature babies accentuates their toxicities and complications.

We have maintained the same outline format for the third edition, appreciating the positive feedback we have received from many that this is conducive to bedside use. We have not only updated previous chapters, we have added newer ones to refl ect changes in practice, equipment, and science. Some of these include an expanded focus on oxygen toxicity, control of oxygen delivery, use of nasal cannula therapy, noninvasive ventilation, newer ventilators, management of hemodynamics, home ventilation, interpreting medical literature, medico-legal issues, and an expan-sive contemporary bibliography on neonatal respiratory care.

Our list of contributors represents a world-class group of scientists, clinicians, and experts in their respective fi elds. We are indebted to them for taking the time and effort to provide their insights and knowledge. The Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care would also not have been possible without the efforts of many “behind the scenes” individuals, including our development editor, Mike Griffi n, and our acquisi-tions editor, Shelley Reinhardt, both of Springer; Vicky Hall in Middlesbrough; and Susan Peterson in Ann Arbor, who coordinated the efforts of more than 50 contributors,

and somehow managed to get all 85 chapters formatted the same way (an incredible feat!). Lastly, we acknowledge our wives, Paula Donn, and Lalita Dean, for their patience and sacrifi ces while we put the Manual together.

Change will continue to occur at a rapid pace. What we hope this edition accom-plishes is the establishment of fundamentals that will enable the clinician to develop the ability to assimilate change in a physiologically sound way while providing the best possible care to his or her patients.
