Much has transpired since the publication of the fourth edition of the Manual of Neonatal Respiratory Care in 2017. In this edition, we have attempted to incorporate many of the changes in pathophysiology, care practices, and respiratory devices. We have enhanced the chapters on noninvasive ventilation, deleted chapters on equipment that is no longer in use, and added chapters to address new devices and techniques. Professor Sunil Sinha has retired from practice after serving as a co-editor of the first four editions. We are indebted to him for his many years of dedication and expertise and wish him well in his retirement. He has been replaced by two experienced and renowned neonatologists, Professor Mark Mammel and Professor Anton van Kaam, who helped us to maintain an international perspective. Neonatal intensive care is as much “art” as “science,” and care practices vary widely, not only among countries but within countries and even within regions. Our contributors represent many countries—Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and many viewpoints. Although most clinicians try to practice evidence-based medicine, not every question has a sufficient database to enable an answer, and clinical decisions must also be based on an understanding of pathophysiology and therapeutics. We are indebted to many for the preparation of this edition. First and foremost are our contributors, who have given their time, energy, and expertise. We thank our publishing personnel at Springer, especially Miranda Finch and Sheik Mohideen K. We are grateful to many of our readers for providing valuable feedback to the fourth edition, and we hope the fifth edition continues to provide helpful bedside management. Lastly, in the interval since the fourth edition, we have lost three dear friends and colleagues who had contributed valuable chapters in each of the first four editions. Malcolm Chiswick, William Meadow, and Anthony Milner were the epitome of the “gentleman and scholar.” Each possessed a unique clinical savvy, scholarly inquisitiveness, and a special sense of humor, which made them exceptional physicians, medical educators, and humanitarians. They are sorely missed.
