Recommended dosages of various antimicrobial agents are given, and certain drugs whose use is not justified in nursery infants are discussed. Environmental hazards include oxygen, incubators, personnel, diapers, boric acid and salt. The discussion of technical hazards covers femoral puncture, intramuscular injections, exchange transfusion, resuscitation, circumcision and intravenous fluid therapy.
