Resuscitation of the surgical neonate.
This article reviews the general principles of resuscitation of a neonate with a surgical disorder. These principles include careful attention to critical management issues of the airway, ventilation, perfusion, nutritional support and thermogenesis. In addition, a variety of surgical disorders in the neonatal period are discussed. For each disorder, early recognition of presentation patterns, efficient work-up strategy, initial management steps, and basic surgical principles are stressed. This framework can provide a basis for successful cooperation between the neonatologist and the pediatric surgeon for the initial care of the neonate requiring surgery.
