Beskrivning
We have all been hypoxic. Fetal tolerance for intrauterine hypoxia arises from evolutionarily conserved physiological mechanisms, the antecedents of which can be learned from diving mammals or species at high altitudes. Understanding fetal hypoxia leads to understanding the huge physiological shifts of neonatal transition and the dangers of perinatal hypoxia.This comprehensive volume of topical review articles by expert authors addresses the origins of hypoxia tolerance, the impact of oxygen on circulatory transition at birth, and the biochemistry of hypoxia in the pulmonary circuit, as well as the classification, diagnosis, and clinical management of hypoxic respiratory failure and persistent pulmonary hypertension in the term neonate.The goal of Hypoxic Respiratory Failure in the Newborn is to connect our understanding of hypoxia from animals in extreme environments, with how the human fetus handles its hypoxic environment; and why the human newborn suddenly cannot. The book will educate health care professionals on how to care for newborns with hypoxic respiratory failure, including the use of up-to-date diagnostic tools and therapies. It also highlights areas of controversy and ongoing research in hypoxic respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, including challenging case studies.Key Features Explores evolutionary context and comparative physiology of hypoxia tolerance in the fetus and neonate, from basic research to clinical scenarios Provides guidance to trainees, physicians, and allied health professionals engaged in NICU care; pediatricians, cardiologists, pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and physiologists to effectively manage infants in hypoxic respiratory failure Includes case scenarios emphasizing current diagnostic and therapeutic controversies and algorithmic approaches to decipher difficult clinical cases

'This book elects to follow the thread of hypoxia, as an originating etiology and defining feature of neonatal pulmonary hypertension. It is a comprehensive and thematic volume of topical articles by world renowned authors, and has assembled all information pertinent to this topic in 38 chapters divided into 5 distinct sections, each marshalled by a dedicated co-editor. This strong interdisciplinary editorial team brings to bear complementary theoretical and practical expertise in different aspects of hypoxia and respiratory failure, and clearly a wide-ranging contact list – the book has over 80 contributing authors. Salient features of this book are helpful signaling pathway diagrams, conceptual illustrations, and synthesis figures by Satyan Lakshminrusimha.Reading the whole volume provides a satisfying continuous narrative of hypoxia through the evolutionary and developmental timeline, and deeper insight into what might appear to be only a superficial problem solved by turning up the oxygen dial. This book is therefore recommended to practicing clinicians as much as to scholars in this field of science.'Dr Kurt Stenmark'It is the most comprehensive discussion of this topic to be found anywhere in the literature. […] There are no comparable texts on this subject, although hypoxia and PPHN are discussed in every standard neonatal textbook. The five authors and the over 80 contributors are the world's research leaders in this topic and are to be congratulated on this superb publication.'Jay P. Goldsmith, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine), Doody Enterprises
