Manual of Neonatal Intensive Care
The 4th edition of this highly successful and well-regarded book has been extensively updated and revised, and continues to provide the busy paediatrician or nurse working in neonatal or intensive care units with precise instructions on the diagnosis and management of common neonatal problems. Major changes have been made to the chapters on resuscitation and ventilation reflecting recent developments in the field, a symptom-based approach has been adopted in the cardiac section, and there is a new chapter on bereavement. The text continues to cover common respiratory, infective and metabolic problems and paediatric surgery, and provides an outline of the physiological basis for illness in the child and of the subsequent management period.
Key Features:
* Contains concise, up-to-date information in an accessible style on all aspects of neonatal intensive care
* Covers the latest advances in resuscitation and ventilation
* Appropriate for trainees in paediatrics and neonatology and as a ready-reference for the practising paediatrician
* Includes key message boxes for rapid assimilation of information
Readership:
