This is the eighth edition of a text providing midwives with in-depth information on the care of the newborn, both normal and abnormal, full-term and pre-term, from minor to major abnormalities and illnesses. It provides an introduction to neonatology, concentrating on common conditions.
Now well-established as a basic introductory text on the care of the newborn for all health professionals. Peter Johnston, a community paediatrician, introduced a fresh approach and gave the text a new lease of life in the previous 7th edition. He has edited the new 8th edition, taking account of the many new developments in this field. The book examines all aspects of care of the baby - normal and abnormal - from the antenatal period through to the end of the first month after birth. It supplements information given in midwifery textbooks and provides a comprehensive introduction for students of health visiting and medicine, and to junior doctors starting work in neonatal units. The book aims to keep a balance between innovations in care (based on sound research) and long-established best practice. It describes common disorders of early childhood, their early warning signs and how to check for them during routine examination. It also looks at epidemiological, socioeconomic and ethnic factors affecting a baby's health and highlights opportunities for preventing problems through genetic counselling and maternal and paediatric screening.
Separate chapters address major problems such as birth injury, neurological disorders, infections and jaundice. A short neonatal pharmacopoeia gives guidance on the amount of a drug to prescribe for each infant. Also available in low priced edition. Features: * A well-established introductory text for midwives, neonatal nurses, health visitors, medical students and junior doctors * Provides comprehensive coverage of the care of the newborn, normal and abnormal * Step-by-step guidance to routine examination of the newborn * Draws on the latest research and relates it to clinical practice * Colour plate section allows illustration of conditions which cannot be adequately illustrated in black and white. Many new illustrations * Each chapter supported by further reading list * More information on family/parental issues and concerns * Includes key points for nurses and midwives * Increased emphasis on quality of life at and beyond the neonatal period * New section on pain relief in newborn babies * Addresses the relevant rapid advances in the field of genetics * Includes the latest material on HIV and drug abuse in relation to the newborn
