Intensive Care of the Fetus and Neonate

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.
