Neonatal anesthesia and surgery have advanced rapidly since the first edition of this book was published in 2015, making it crucial to update essential topics. The second edition addresses new developments in our understanding of neonatal apoptosis, increased use of regional anesthesia in neonates, pharmacology of drugs in neonates, delivery of anesthesia outside of the operating room, neonatal resuscitation/guidelines, perinatal complexities, developmental physiology, airway management and ventilation, perioperative complications, and ethical considerations. Dr. Jerrold Lerman, who brings four decades of research, publication, and clinical experience in pediatric and neonatal anesthesia, leads the book.

The book is well-illustrated and comprehensive and includes contributions from experts in neonatal anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care. It is essential reading for trainees as well as experienced clinicians and serves as a valuable resource for every anesthetic and critical care department that serves children. The first edition received accolades for its support of theory-based practical approaches to managing anesthesia in neonates and its comprehensive coverage. This second edition is expected to follow in its footsteps.

Reviews from the 1st edition:

“Lerman’s book stands alone as an up-to-date text dedicated exclusively to the practice of anesthesia in neonates… The text covers its subject matter in extraordinary breadth and depth… Neonatal Anesthesia is a sophisticated but approachable text that offers its readers theory-based practical approaches to understanding and managing anesthesia in our youngest, most fragile patient population.” (Stephanie A. Black and Lynne G. Maxwell, Anesthesiology, Vol. 125 (3), 2016)

“It is a long-awaited contribution to the literature, filling a gap of over a decade without a neonatal anesthesia textbook… The reference lists are comprehensive and exhaustive. Dr. Lerman should be commended for finally presenting the anesthesia community worldwide with this textbook, which will be able to stand on its own, probably for the next decade.” (K. P. Mason, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 116 (4), 2016)

“This book covers in 400-plus pages and 17 chapters most of what is known about the neonatal airway, physiology, drugs and anesthetics, with separate chapters on each subcategory of neonatal anesthesia…This is a large book on a narrow topic that has increasing relevance to the field of current pediatric practice. It is well written, well illustrated, and highly useful.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2015)

“The book has many outstanding chapters that have been thoughtfully crafted by leading researchers in specific fields… this book is an essential addition to any pediatric anesthesiology library in any organization that provides care to neonates. This book is an excellent resource, not only for anesthesiologists at every level of training and expertise, but also for other professionals who provide postoperative care, administer sedative drugs, control the airway, and undertake procedures in newborn infants.” (Carolyne Montgomery and J. Mark Ansermino, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 62, 2015)
