  Neonatology is concerned with the care of newborn babies who are at some degree of risk. This may be due to a variety of causes including prematurity, oxygen deprivation, breathing problems, infection, or birth defects. This book was originally written to provide a textbook of neonatal medicine which is concise, yet presents background information and alternative methods of treatment where appropriate. The updated second edition has the same aim, and includes basic information about the physiology and development of the newborn. It will be of value not only to medical students and paediatricians in training, but also to neonatal nurses and midwives.

  Although written primarily for junior hospital doctors and membership candidates, the lucid instruction given in this practical manual will also appeal to midwives and neonatal nurses. Recent advances in our knowledge of fetal physiology have given rise to numerous methods of antenatal management and neonatal intensive care while similar advances in technology have resulted in new techniques for investigating and monitoring high-risk neonates. The text not only covers all the situations likely to occur in hospital practice, but also explains the reasons behind every procedure. It presents an up-to-date account of neonatology and is liberally illustrated with explicit line diagrams and photographs. Pgrad. text.
