Full Description
The neonatal period encompasses the first 28 days of life. This phase marks the newborn's transition from intrauterine life to the external world, involving numerous physiological and biological changes. Emergencies that arise during this period can significantly affect the future life of the infant, potentially leading to permanent developmental disorders, and in unfortunate cases, even death. Managing such emergencies requires prompt and accurate interventions, making it crucial for physicians dealing with neonates to stay informed about the latest advancements in this field. In addition to medical emergencies, surgical emergencies in neonates require special attention. The timely management of these surgical emergencies is crucial, as delays in intervention can lead to severe morbidity and even mortality in this vulnerable patient group. Current Approaches to Newborn Emergencies provides a detailed review of the diagnosis, treatment, and management processes of emergency conditions that may occur during the neonatal period. The editors have designed this book as a practical resource and an educational tool for clinicians. It serves as a multidisciplinary guide for those working in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), equipping them with the knowledge and skills to manage various emergencies. Current Approaches to Newborn Emergencies will significantly impact on neonatal healthcare and become an essential reference in clinical practice.
