Overview

This publication is intended to provide comprehensive yet concise information on indications, doses, preparation, administration, and adverse reactions of drugs in use during the neonatal period. There is particular emphasis on preparation and administration by neonatal nurses. Compatibilities of intravenous medications with concurrent other fluids or medications are thoroughly addressed. The routes for the administration of various medications are delineated.The most recognised adverse effects of various medications are flagged up, but the lists are by no means all-inclusive. It is advisable to consult up to date periodically if reactions or side effects outside the specific monograph texts are encountered. Furthermore, the publication focuses on known contraindications, precautions, and practical advice. A considerable effort has been exercised to ensure the doses, calculations, with or without dilutions, are accurate. However, further confirmation by the nursing and medical personnel is advised prior to the first use of each individual monograph. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated and can be sent to neonatologypractical@gmail.com. It is acknowledged that many neonatal units prefer to custom their own dilutions, concentrations, and infusion times. Nevertheless, the information in the various monographs is counterchecked with the practice of various well recognised international neonatal units.
