Abstract: This book is an important new resource for clinicians caring for ventilator dependent children, who often have complex health care needs, are supported by advanced technology and are at high-risk of serious complications. Despite the complicated health care needs of children who rely on chronic respiratory support, there are few guidelines and little evidence available to guide the clinicians who care for these patients. This book covers the many aspects involved in the care of these complex children, with input from experts in the fields of pediatric pulmonology, intensive care, ethics, respiratory therapy, and nursing. In depth chapters provide an introduction to the use of chronic invasive and non-invasive ventilation in children and describe and review what is known about methods of delivering ventilator support, care of the chronically ventilated patient in the community, use of chronic ventilator support in patients with disorders commonly leading to respiratory failure and outcomes for patients and their caregivers. This book is intended to be useful not only for pediatric pulmonologists, but also for intensivists, cardiologists, physical medicine/rehabilitation specialists, nurses, respiratory therapists and the primary care physicians involved in the complexities of managing care for this unique group of special needs children.

Contents: Chronic Ventilator Support in Children: Why, Who, and When -- Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Children: An Overview -- Chronic Invasive Mechanical Ventilation -- Ethical Considerations in Chronic Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatrics -- Palliative Care and End-of-Life Considerations in Children on Chronic Ventilation -- Transition from Hospital to Home -- The Model of Care for the Ventilator-Dependent Child -- Outpatient Care of the Ventilator Dependent Child -- In Home Care of the Child on Chronic Mechanical Ventilation -- Troubleshooting Common Ventilator and Related Equipment Issues in the Home -- Inhaled Drug Delivery for Children on Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation -- Adherence to Non-Invasive Ventilatory Support -- Ventilator Support in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome -- Ventilator Support in Children with Neuromuscular Disorders -- Long-Term Ventilator Support in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia -- Chronic Ventilatory Support For Children Following Trauma or Severe Neurologic Injury -- Care of the Child with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome.

Abstract: Early childhood development refers to the skills that children acquire within their first five years of life, which lay the foundation for future learning. Children need care and support to stimulate their growth and healthy development. The stimulation of language, understanding, personal, social and motor skills of the child are important at an early age and it is one of the primary physicians' responsibilities to give proper advice to parents on how to promote their children's physical and mental development. Enhancing Early Child Development: A Handbook for Clinicians is a quick reference guide for pediatricians, clinicians, and pediatric nurse practitioners that aims at promoting early stimulation and intervention for optimizing development of normal children as well as children with cerebral palsy and autism. Designed to be used in daily practice, this book will provide counsel for clinicians, parents and caregivers and advise them on the appropriate methods to enhance their child's development at different ages based on their health condition. In addition, Enhancing Early Child Development: A Handbook for Clinicians, incorporates a summary of the manual entitled "Counsel the Family on Care for Child Development" developed by UNICEF and WHO, which addresses child development in low resource countries.

Contents: Enhancing childhood development in a normal child -- Enhancing childhood development in children with autism -- Enhancing childhood development in children with cerebral palsy and other disorders -- Enhancing childhood development in children with behavioral and psychological disorders -- Nutrition for better development -- Summary of the "Care for Childhood Development" program (UNICEF/WHO) -- Index.

Abstract: Children with chronic conditions, developmental disorders, and birth defects represent a sizeable minority of American children'as many as one in five. Often their families have financial or other issues limiting their access to appropriate care, thus limiting their adult prospects as well. Compounding the problem, many valuable resources concerning this population are difficult to access although they may be critical to the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers creating standards for quality care and services. In response, the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs assembles research, applied, and policy perspectives reflecting the range of children's problems requiring special services. Widely studied conditions (e.g., communication disorders, substance abuse) and those receiving lesser attention (e.g., tuberculosis) are covered, as are emerging ideas such as the "medical home" concept of continuity of care. Contributors offer screening and evaluation methods, research guidelines, and diagnostic and treatment interventions to inform the greatest spectrum of readers, including: Quality of life in children diagnosed with ADHD or specific learning disabilities; Evaluating school-aged children with visual impairments; Deaf culture advocates on deaf learners' education; Oral health access issues in children requiring special services; Diagnostic and treatment issues in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders; Addressing and preventing bullying of children with special health care needs. Its interdisciplinary outlook makes the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs a vital, forward-looking text for developmental psychologists, pediatricians, early childhood and special education researchers and practitioners, disability researchers, policymakers, and advocates, and providers for children with special health care needs.
