Practical Perinatal Care The Baby Under 1000g

This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect the rapid developments in neonatal medicine. The overall approach is more practical than before, and several new contributors bring fresh perspectives. These additions encompass retinopathy of prematurity, ventilation and intensive care management, respiratory audit, necrotising enterocolitis, normal and abnormal pathology, pharmacology, ethics and organising neonatal care. It remains one of the few readable books covering all aspects of the special management and intensive care of very small neonates. An increasing number of very low birth weight babies are now being successfully delivered and, with advances in technology, thriving.
