Fetal & Neonatal Secrets

With a strong emphasis on fetology and fetal intervention, this book discusses fetal development, fetal diagnosis, assessing fetal well-being, and medical and surgical therapy for the fetus. Moving into neonatology, it covers maternal factors influencing neonatal outcome, management of high-risk pregnancy, and neonatal resuscitation. Discussions are organized by organ system, diagnosis, treatment, management, and critical care techniques for the critically ill infant. Ethical considerations in intensive care are also discussed.

Intensive Care Of The Fetus And Neonate

The cardinal indicator of a satisfactory outcome for neonatal intensive care is normal neurological development, yet until very recently, clinical monitoring of brain function was limited to the physical examination. Recently, though, a number of new techniques have been developed to assist clinicians who wish to know more about the neurological status of their fragile patients. This issue explores various techniques of brain monitoring including continuous EEG, near-infrared spectroscopy, and biochemical markers, as well as articles intended to help clinicians respond appropriately to abnormalities and changes discovered during monitoring. This issue should appeal to physicians, nurses, therapists, and other members of the neonatal intensive care team.
