Description

In this collaborative volume, paediatricians and ophthalmologists present the state of current knowledge about the retinopathy that affects premature infants. Each of the contributing authors was encouraged to develop his or her arguments without regard for a need to establish a consensus, the intent being to highlight areas of disagreement and uncertainty. Thus, while there are many areas of overlap in the chapters, the interpretations of the same evidence are not necessarily congruent. Current debates about the contributory roles of supplemental oxygen, light, blood transfusions, hypoxemia, hypercapnea, and the confused status of new treatments (including surgical interventions), as well as the familiar prophylaxis with vitamin E are all covered in this thought-provoking volume.
