Brain maldevelopment or injury in utero can cause life-long disability. Focussing on improvements in imaging methods, therapeutics, and perinatal care that can help to identify, prevent, or treat brain problems in the fetus and newborn, this new edition brings the reader fully up to date with recent advances in clinical management and outcome assessment. Updated material includes protective strategies for pre-term and term infants, ways of promoting of brain development in the neonatal intensive care unit, resuscitation, and immediate care after resuscitation (golden hour care), and parental perspectives, particularly strategies for communicating with families. An outstanding international team of highly experienced neonatologists and maternal-fetal medicine clinicians have produced a practical and authoritative clinical text offering clear management advice to all clinicians involved in the treatment of the fetus and newborn.
