Summary:

This resource is aimed at providing student midwives and nurses an entry level understanding of the role of the nurse/midwife in the neonatal environment. The book is divided into chapters following the notions of warm, sweet, pink and calm with an overview of transition to the extrauterine environment. It is paramount that we ask ourselves when caring for premature or haemodynamically unstable term infants, are they warm, are they sweet, are they pink, and finally are they calm. This resource will provide you with an entry level understanding of the pathophysiology behind some of the more commonly seen presentations in the neonatal special care nursery, and more importantly the resource will provide you with management strategies following the warm, sweet, pink and calm concepts.
