Product Description
Although written primarily for junior hospital doctors and membership candidates, the lucid instruction given in this practical manual will also appeal to midwives and neonatal nurses. Recent advances in our knowledge of fetal physiology have given rise to numerous methods of antenatal management and neonatal intensive care while similar advances in technology have resulted in new techniques for investigating and monitoring high-risk neonates. The text not only covers all the situations likely to occur in hospital practice, but also explains the reasons behind every procedure. It presents an up-to-date account of neonatology and is liberally illustrated with explicit line diagrams and photographs. Pgrad. text.

 It's the book! January 27, 2001
Khalid Alnaqbi (Toronto, Canada)
It is an excellent concise introductory text for medical students. It's well-organized & well-illustrated, not to mention its up-to-date information. Unfortunately, it doesn't have self-assessment section. However, it's worth buying!

I think that this short, well illustrated book is an excellent introduction to Neonatology,and will also serve well as a review for those undertaking further training in the subject. I strongly reccomend the text for medical students, midwives, and for junior paediatric trainees, doing their first rotation in SCBU/ NICU. I think it covers the common conditions very well, and gives a good balance between detail on the important, common problems, and also giving some brief information on the rarer neonatal problems that one also has to have some knowledge of. I found the text well supported by graphs, diagrams, and pictures. I think the only features that it lacked were some brief, illustrative case histories, and a self assessment section at the back of each chapter. I have read (and enjoyed) the book a few times.
