The fifth edition of this highly successful and well-regarded book
continues to provide those working in neonatal intensive care units with
precise instructions on the diagnosis and management of common neonatal
problems. This edition has been extensively updated and revised, while
retaining the background physiology, key references, and diagrams that
made previous editions so successful.
Several new chapters have
been added, including the subjects of fetal medicine, antenatal
diagnosis, and obstetrics for the neonatologist. Using a clear,
accessible style, this edition features discussions of evidence-based
medicine and the introduction of additional easy-to-digest lists. The
text has been made more internationally applicable, including a re-focus
of the chapter on organization of neonatal care away from UK-specific
admission criteria and more towards general reasons for admitting a baby
to the intensive care ward.
