Developed by top pediatric hospitalists, Caring for the Hospitalized
Child: A Handbook of Inpatient Pediatrics, 3rd Edition, is sure to
become your go-to resource from initial patient evaluation all the way
through discharge management. Quickly obtain the essential information
for managing a wide range of pediatric medical conditions in patients
who have been admitted to the hospital with this trusted, pocket-sized
reference.
Each chapter not only discusses clinical presentation, essential
laboratory tests, differential diagnosis, treatment, indications for
consultation, and disposition but contains many helpful tables and an
easy-to-follow template. Chapters also include a short bulleted list of
essential pearls and pitfalls. Although the book focuses primarily on
diseases and conditions, it contains helpful sections that address the
many other issues practicing hospitalists are confronted with, including
ethics, billing, utilization management, surge planning, and transport,
as well as a brief section on common equipment.
The alphabetized Contents has been updated to include Autism Spectrum
Disorder, Hypertension, Constipation, Surge Planning, Utilization
Management, and both Acute COVID-19 Disease and Multisystem Inflammatory
Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). A new part on newborn care has been added,
covering topics such as breastfeeding, hypoglycemia of the newborn, and
early onset sepsis.
