Produktbeschreibung

Obstetricians and pediatricians in daily practice will findhere the answersand explanations they need concerning themajor problem of perinatal asphyxia. Leading experts inpediatrics, obstetrics and neurophysiology havecometogether to produce a single sourcebook covering all aspectsof thesubject. Biochemical mechanisms and clinical aspectsof perinatal asphyxia, fetal and neonatal assessment, andperinatal management are thoroughly discussed.Neurodevelopmental outcome is another important issueaddressed. In light of newer technologies, the prognosis ofinfants suffering from asphyxia is examined.Many figures and typicalcases are provided, making the bookeasy to use and providing quick access to solutions. Thereader can easily identify a problem in the fetus and itssubsequent development. With such knowledge, the improvedmanagementof perinatal asphyxia is made possible.
