Reviews

This beautifully constructed book makes the field of neonatology quite accessible and appealing. It is not aimed at experienced neonatologists, but some of the charts and graphs can be used by senior physicians as teaching aids. In some ways, this book resembles Care of the High-Risk Neonate (Elsevier), which Dr. Fanaroff coedited for five editions from 1973 to 2001, but the color graphics in this book make it much more attractive. (Doody's, 5 August 2011)<p> In one or two colorful double-page spreads, the essentials of caring for premature newborns are presented for pediatric interns and residents, medical students, neonatal nurses and nurse practitioners, and midwives who care for newborn babies and mothers.

Chapters are laid out simply with references to common situations and conditions, and diagrams and photographs enhance the text.

It can be used as an excellent introduction for newcomers to the field, or as a succinct refresher for revision.
