El presente texto, dirigido por Carmen Sellán y Antonio Vázquez, grandes expertos en el campo de los cuidados neonatales, viene a cubrir un hueco en lo que a los cuidados del recién nacido se refiere.  Se centra en señalar la relevancia que tienen los cuidados para la salud de los recién nacidos y sus familias ; en identificar y estudiar los diferentes problemas de cuidados, que no patologías como la mayoría de los textos existentes, que pueden presentar los neonatos y, finalmente, en emplear la metodología enfermera de NANDA, NOC y NIC para la elaboración de los planes de cuidados. Se dirige a los estudiantes de grado y posgrado con interés por el área del recién nacido y su familia, así como para las enfermeras que inician su labor asistencial en el área neonatal y las residentes de la especialidad de enfermería pediátrica.. La dimensión del texto va desde la conceptualización disciplinar y profesional al estudio y manejo de la situación del recién nacido y su familia no sólo desde un plano fisiopatológico sino desde una vertiente integral de las necesidades que presentan en esta etapa de la vida.

Cet ouvrage offre aux pédiatres confirmés ou en formation, les bases physiopathologiques et cliniques indispensables pour une meilleure prise en charge des nouveau-nés. L’explosion des connaissances en biologie cellulaire, moléculaire, en biochimie et en physiologie rend essentielle la compréhension, par le pédiatre néonatologiste, de la biologie du développement afin d’améliorer les soins cliniques. Les auteurs répondent à la nécessité, pour les professionnels, de disposer de connaissances physiopathologiques et d’avoir accès aux informations fournies par les études cliniques basées sur les évidences. Sont abordées également les perspectives d’application en pratique clinique des nouvelles découvertes en sciences fondamentales ainsi que les questions éthiques auxquelles sont souvent confrontés ces praticiens. Écrit par près de 80 experts nationaux ou internationaux et recommandé par la Société française de néonatologie, Néonatologie : bases scientifiques constitue l’ouvrage de référence reposant sur l’Evidence- Based-Medicine.

Preterm birth interrupts the normal developmental progression of most organs, particularly when birth occurs at the lowest level of viability. An immediate task is to successfully transition to a post-natal life without a placental circulation. To do this demands careful management of the cardiorespiratory systems. To best help the fragile preterm infant at this demanding time, care-givers must remember two most pressing goals. These are first to maintain adequacy of gas exchange and delivery, while simultaneously minimizing any secondary injury to the fragile preterm lung. However, after these immediate priorities in the delivery room, the longer term effects of an immature lung development and its associated problems come to the forefront. These problems include the inflammation of perinatal infection, oxygen, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Both the immaturity itself, and secondary lung injury and its inflammation – collectively will often lead to the condition termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although many of these infants may eventually be discharged to home without a need for oxygen supplementation or pulmonary medications, the long-term impact of interrupted lung development and secondary lung injury remain serious concerns. It is now well recognized that mechanical ventilation is pivotal to developing secondary lung injury and BPD. Consequently, a great deal of time and effort has been put into the development and application of non-invasive ventilator (NIV) approaches to supporting respiratory function in neonates. Since the landmark publication by Gregory and colleagues in 1967, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been the most commonly applied approach to NIV. This approach has been supported by the recent generation of randomized controlled trials. However, cumulatively these trials have shown only a small reduction in rates of BPD. Outside of the trial data, despite the wider application of nCPAP, rates of BPD remain relatively unchanged over recent years. This has led to investigations of other NIV approaches including nasal ventilation and high flow nasal cannula therapy. Not only have available modes increased, but so have the interfaces through which these modes may be applied. In the issue of Clinic in Perinatology, readers will find an up-to-date review of non-invasive approaches to supporting preterm respiratory function. This draws on the expertise of leading investigators in the field. This issue reviews the physiologic mechanisms by which the various approaches to NIV may support respiratory function; the evidence base supporting different NIV approaches; and adjunctive aspects of NIV therapy including their use during neonatal transport and the application of other supportive therapies such as inhaled NO.
