AIIMS Protocols in Neonatology: Core Protocols 3rd Edition – 2-Volume Set

AIIMS Protocols in Neonatology: Core Protocols, Third Edition is an evidence-based, two-volume clinical guide developed by the faculty of the Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

Edited by Ramesh Agarwal, Ashok Deorari, Vinod K. Paul, M. Jeeva Sankar and Anu Sachdeva, the set brings together clinical protocols refined through decades of neonatal practice, teaching and research at AIIMS.

The protocols provide concise, practical guidance for caring for normal newborns and infants requiring treatment in the neonatal intensive-care unit. Each topic emphasizes evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, monitoring and management suitable for clinical application.

The third edition incorporates emerging evidence, revised recommendations and updates from the World Health Organization and other international agencies. For easier consultation, commonly encountered neonatal conditions are presented as Core Protocols in Volumes 1 and 2, while protocols for selected highly complex conditions are published separately as Additional Protocols.
