Description

This book, written by a team of experts in the field, deals with one of the most common sequelae of prematurity - the immature lung, and, in particular, the syndrome that makes up bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The book covers such topics as the epidemiology, pathology, history and scientific investigations of certain aspects of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and provides a detailed description of the clinical management of the condition, together with an assessment of results. It should prove to be an up-to-date source of reference to neonatologists, paediatricians, obstetricians and paediatric respiratory medicine specialists.
