Obstetric care in neonatology and pediatrics
Neonatal and pediatric care is a core activity of health care professionals. This activity leaves a lasting impression on children's quality of life and demographic indicators. The progress of neonatology has necessitated a serious revision regarding the terminology, special and intensive care of high-risk newborns. The implemented life-saving high-tech activities gave a chance for life to the most vulnerable group of newborn children - the prematurely born with very low and extremely low birth weight. It is this contingent of children that requires special care at a later age from pediatricians and health care professionals.
This textbook fills a gap in neonatal obstetric practice. This contemporary and in-depth work has a strong practical focus, making it a must-read for healthcare professionals – especially midwives.
