Many of these babies are hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. Annie Janvier and her husband, Keith Barrington, are both pediatricians who specialize in the care of these sick babies and are internationally known for their research in this area. In 2005, when their daughter Violette was born extremely prematurely, 4 months before her due date, they faced the situation from the other side, as parents. Despite knowing the scientific facts, they knew nothing about the experience itself. Knowing how a respirator works did not help me be the mother of a baby on a respirator, writes Annie. She did not know how to navigate the guilt, the uncertainty, the fears, the predictions of providers, and the responses of friends and family. In a society obsessed with goals, performance, efficiency, and high percentages, she discovered that the daily lack of control that new parents of sick babies face changes their lives. And that, for physician parents, it also changes the way they practice medicine.Most of the articles and books written about premature babies and neonatal intensive care units examine the technological and medical aspects of neonatology. Breathe, Baby, Breathe!, however, is written in the voice of a parent-doctor and tells the story of Violette and her parents, alongside the stories of other fragile babies and their families with different journeys and different outcomes. With the story of Violette at the core of the book, the interwoven stories and empirical articles provide essential insights into the medical world of premature birth. This original clever blend of narratives and evidence provides a new, experiential view of the way forward during a parental crisis. The book ends with practical recommendations for clinicians, parents, and families. Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing is an information-packed, evidence-based text for experienced neonatal nurses, paediatric nurses and midwives caring for sick newborn babies. Clearly written by practising neonatal nurses and teachers, it concentrates on the common problems occurring within the neonatal intensive care unit, enabling nurses to recognise, rationalise and remedy these problems using both a multi-systems and an evidence-based approach. In addition, the text includes case studies and exercises to promote critical thinking and decision-making, and allowing nurses to link knowledge to practice.User-friendly and well sign-posted with a glossary of terms, this text is essential reading for nurses and midwives caring for sick newborn babies within the intensive care area of the neonatal unit and also for nurses undertaking qualifications in neonatal nursing.
