Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n Developed by top pediatric hospitalists, Caring for the Hospitalized Child: A Handbook of Inpatient Pediatrics, 3rd Edition, is sure to become your go-to resource from initial patient evaluation all the way through discharge management. Quickly obtain the essential information for managing a wide range of pediatric medical conditions in patients who have been admitted to the hospital with this trusted, pocket-sized reference. Each chapter not only discusses clinical presentation, essential laboratory tests, differential diagnosis, treatment, indications for consultation, and disposition but contains many helpful tables and an easy-to-follow template. Chapters also include a short bulleted list of essential pearls and pitfalls. Although the book focuses primarily on diseases and conditions, it contains helpful sections that address the many other issues practicing hospitalists are confronted with, including ethics, billing, utilization management, surge planning, and transport, as well as a brief section on common equipment. The alphabetized Contents has been updated to include Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hypertension, Constipation, Surge Planning, Utilization Management, and both Acute COVID-19 Disease and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). A new part on newborn care has been added, covering topics such as breastfeeding, hypoglycemia of the newborn, and early onset sepsis.     \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   [REVIEWER'S EXPERT OPINION]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e **Description**\u003cbr\u003e This handbook is a quick point of care guide for formulating medical plans on the spot. This third edition updates the previous version, published in 2018, with revised chapters and 15 new topics, most notably those related to COVID-19 and related phenomena. Recognizing that some pediatric hospitalists practice newborn medicine specifically, this edition also provides dedicated newborn medicine sections.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e **Purpose**\u003cbr\u003e Despite its heft, this book is intended to be a handbook as opposed to a comprehensive text. As such, readers will not glean deeper coverage of physiology or review of clinical reasoning. Rather, the book is directive for making assessments, arriving at diagnoses and treatment plans, and avoiding harm.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e **Audience**\u003cbr\u003e The book is intended for practicing pediatric hospitalists to consult or seek a second opinion to see if their intended approach is reasonable. The authors are well respected voices of wisdom and authority who have shaped the establishment of pediatric hospitalist medicine as a recognized subspecialty. They know their audience well and write for their colleagues.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e **Features**\u003cbr\u003e At 108 chapters long, the book covers a scope of topics that is as broad as pediatric hospitalists' practice. While much of the book is organized in bullet points and tables, each chapter aims to provide pillars of care, including diagnosis, treatment, disposition, indication for consultation, and other pearls and pitfalls. An entire multi-chapter section is dedicated to hospitalist practice topics related to challenges of care delivery and resource utilization. Any criticisms of the book would be short-sighted. To make this handbook truly wearable in the lab coat would make it unsafe and unusable or limited in scope. To expand it to be more formative would make it a true textbook and unlikely to be consulted in daily practice. It would be great to have a clinical image index accessible online to complement the print book, but perhaps that justifies the next edition along with our evolving field.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e **Assessment**\u003cbr\u003e This book reads much like The Osler Medical Handbook or The Harriet Lane Handbook for trainees, except it is dedicated to inpatient pediatric medicine, as opposed to the entire field of pediatrics or internal medicine. This is not the first edition, and it will not be the last, as we are all committed to better practice and lifelong learning to afford our patients the best outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bridget  M Wild, MD (NorthShore University HealthSystem)\u003cbr\u003e Doody's Book ReviewsTM\u003cbr\u003e             About the Author   The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.
