Synopsis - “Textbook of Neonatology, 4th edition represents the state of the art on neonatal care, providing not only detailed pathophysiology
and clinical chapters on every condition of the neonate but also comprehensive chapters on the psychosocial aspects of neonatology such as
handling perinatal death and ethical and legal aspects of neonatal care. Outcome measurements are paramount in this field, and a chapter is
dedicated to neurodevelopmental outcome. Contributions from foetal medicine experts and obstetricians provide valuable peripheral information
essential to the practice of neonatology.

the busy paediatrician or nurse working in neonatal or intensive care units with precise instructions on the diagnosis and management of common
neonatal problems. It concentrates on 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".

A comprehensive account of the basic science, metabolism and nutritional requirements of the neonate, and a greatly expanded number of chapters dealing in depth with clinical issues ranging from intrauterine growth restriction, intravenous feeding, nutritional therapies for inborn errors of metabolism and care of the neonatal surgical patient. Evolving from these scientific and clinical aspects, the volume highlights the important long term effects of fetal and neonatal growth on health in later life. In addition, there are very practical chapters on methods and techniques for assessing nutritional status, body composition and evaluating metabolic function. Written by an authoritative, international team of contributors, this will be an essential source of scientific knowledge and clinical reference.
