Since the first edition was published in 2015, neonatal anesthesia and surgery have advanced rapidly, with numerous new developments, necessitating the update of several essential topics. These include our understanding of neonatal apoptosis, the increasing use of regional anesthesia in neonates, the pharmacology of drugs in neonates, the delivery of anesthesia outside the operating room, neonatal resuscitation/guidelines, and perinatal complexities such as the EXIT procedure, together with the fundamental principles of developmental physiology, airway management, and ventilation, as well as perioperative complications and ethical considerations that are unique to this age group.

This comprehensive and well-illustrated book is led by Dr. Jerrold Lerman, who brings four decades of research, publication, and clinical experience in pediatric and neonatal anesthesia. He has assembled a team of recognized international experts in neonatal anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care to share their knowledge in managing neonates for the challenges they face both within and outside the surgical suites. Neonatal Anesthesia, the 2nd edition, is the quintessential clinical reference for perioperative care of these small patients that should be read by trainees as well as experienced clinicians and is certain to become an invaluable resource for every anesthetic and critical care department that serves children.

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. … Throughout the book, there are illustrative and clinically relevant diagrams, nicely supporting and summarizing relevant text for the more visual learner."
