Customer Reviews

I'm sure outdated by now.

Not a bad book. Not terribly expensive. I prefer the workbook by Richard Polin though. NOt bad. I do miss the NICU. Really i do... Get this book if you want to do well in the NICU and actually understand whats going on and not just take care of the fetoids. Good respiratory and cardiac chapters. Between this and the Polin book, go with Polin. The NICU secrets book is excellent as well.

a must have

I borrowed the previous edition as a fourth year acting intern. It was excellent. Extremely easy to read, lots of information, but concise for time. A must have...I plan on buying the new edition!

Classic Text

This is an excellent textbook, period. It provides an excellent balance between scientific background and practical knowledge. Chapters are concise, well-illustrated, and each chapter concludes with a question/anwer discussion format which mimics the conversational style of the best lecturers. Most important, this textbook is readable and of a manageable size which as a second year resident I was able to get through during a one month rotation.
