With a better understanding of the pathogenesis of neonatal conditions, therapeutic and medical decisions are becoming more complex and require a multi-disciplinary approach. There are several handbooks of neonatology currently available but none of them offer a comprehensive guide to neonatal care. This handbook offers a unique, multi-disciplinary approach to most of the disease states encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit. It includes a special focus on prenatal care, delivery room management, transport, organ and system based neonatal disorders, a detailed approach to surgical problems in the neonatal intensive care unit and a guide to end-of-life care and ethical issues concerned.

This handbook is edited and written by experts in each subspecialty, and will provide a unique, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and management of common neonatal problems with easy-to-follow organ system outline format.
