Essential Neonatal Medicine, Includes Desktop Edition

As the technology for keeping premature and sick babies alive improves, those working in neonatal units are called upon to display an ever-wider range of skills and to manage more and more patients. To support all health professionals experiencing the discipline of neonatology for the first time, Essential Neonatal Medicine offers the depth and background of a textbook combined with the information overview and level of detail of a learning consolidator, allowing its users to gain an overall picture of the specialty and making them aware of key conditions, procedures and diagnoses. This edition includes new chapters on neonatal consequences of maternal disease, congenital abnormalities, developmental care and environment, extreme preterm births and small for gestational age infants. Now in full colour, it includes chapter introductions and key points, tips, end-of-chapter summaries, fully updated further reading lists, and a section of self-assessment questions and answers. Fully cross-referenced with the best-selling Wiley nursing title Nursing the Neonate, it is also accompanied by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition - the interactive digital version of the book with downloadable text and images, highlighting and note-taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary terms
