Abstract: Represents a complete revision of one of the major textbooks of neonatal-perinatal medicine. Readers will find state-of-the-art management strategies for virtually every aspect of the fetus and the critically ill newborn infant. It offers a practical approach to fetal development, fetal diagnosis and monitoring, the medical and surgical management of high-risk pregnancies, and a step-by-step approach to pulmonary and critical care techniques used on premature and sick neonates. Includes information on the neonatal period, as well as the full perinatal period. Discusses techniques such as, fetal echocardiography, delivery room resuscitation, imaging, neonatal bronchoscopy, high-frequency jet ventilation, liquid ventilation, endotracheal intubation, thoracentesis and chest intubation,, and much more. Discusses diagnostic, assessment, and intervention techniques for the fetus.
