Welcome to the library blog for MFP Residents!

ResidencyMFP was a service of the Librarian at Montgomery Hospital--a posting of information on library services, tips on searching the medical literature, and items related to residency and to Family Practice. I am leaving the information up in case it is still useful to someone, but due to library closure, the blog will no longer be updated.

Iowa Neonatology Handbook

Iowa Neonatology Handbook

The Iowa Neonatology Handbook represents an ongoing effort by the Division of Neonatology at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital to provide physicians, nurses, and medical students who care for newborn infants a collection of protocols outlining rational approaches to the care of critically ill neonates. In no way is this document a comprehensive review of the field of neonatology, nor is it implied that the therapeutic approaches outlined in this book are established policies or standards of care. Rather, they represent a compilation of the experience and clinical styles of the members of our division and are intended only as a guide to therapy.
