内容説明

This book evaluates the numerous events in pregnancy, labour, and post-partum care that can lead to brain damage in newborn infants. The mechanisms by which the brain is damaged, as well as the approaches to treatment and most importantly, prevention of injury are delineated. This book is intended for fetal medicine physicians, neonatalogists, paediatricians, paediatric neurologists, neuro-radiologists, neuro-pathologists, obstetricians.
