Description
Previously entitled "Practical Neonatal Paediatrics", this provides practical advice and instruction to medical and nursing staff on the labour ward, postnatal ward and in the home. It concentrates on practical issues and assumes no paediatric experience. The book is divided into three sections: management of problems which may be anticipated before birth; the labour ward and emergencies at delivery; and common problems facing staff on the postnatal wards. The book is suitable for nursing and medical staff at various levels including GPs, midwives, health visitors and trainee specialists.
