A Practical NICU Bedside Handbook Updated for Today’s Care Teams
In neonatal intensive care, minutes matter—and so does alignment. The best outcomes in the NICU rarely come from a single hero. They come from an interprofessional team that shares the same clinical language, priorities, and evidence-based routines.
That’s why Merenstein & Gardner’s Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care: An Interprofessional Approach (10th Edition, Elsevier, 2025) has earned its reputation as a go-to bedside reference for NICU nurses and physicians. It’s practical, structured for real-world decision-making, and updated to reflect current guidelines, protocols, and the realities of modern neonatal care.
What makes this handbook valuable today
- Team-based NICU practice: a clear interprofessional approach for coordinated care.
- Evidence-informed updates: aligned with current guidelines and protocols.
- Parent teaching built in: supporting families through complex NICU journeys.
- Inclusive, culturally competent care: strengthening communication and equity in practice.
- Full-color usability: easier to scan, faster to apply at the bedside.
