The challenges faced by individual neonatal units may differ across the country. We sincerely hope that the book will help in improving neonatal care in your institution and in the country as a whole. Our experience over the years has been amalgamated with evidence from scientific literature to provide the latest and most relevant answers to the issues we face when delivering care to neonates. We have tried to include protocols for most of the common issues related to care of the newborn.

Scientific knowledge keeps changing in any field and neonatology cannot be an exception.

We, the authors, editors, and publishers, are sure that you will extend us the same support that you did for the previous edition. We had a choice of reprinting or bringing out a new edition of the book, and chose the second option so that we could update the earlier chapters, and add new protocols that the readers including our own residents requested. The response to the first edition from the neonatal caregivers was really heartening, and the printed copies sold out very quickly. We are happy to present the second edition of NICU Protocols of JIPMER.
