Dr. Richard Polin’s Neonatology Questions and Controversies series highlights the toughest challenges facing physicians and care providers in clinical practice, offering trustworthy guidance on up-to-date diagnostic and treatment options in the field. In each volume, renowned experts address the clinical problems of greatest concern to today’s practitioners, helping you handle difficult practice issues and provide optimal, evidence-based care to every patient.
The thoroughly updated, full-color, 4th Edition of The Newborn Lung:
Provides a clear management strategy for reducing lung damage and long-term sequelae in extremely premature infants, offering guidance based on the most up-to-date understanding of underlying pathophysiology.
Places emphasis on controversial areas that can entail different approaches.
Features the most current clinical information throughout, with an emphasis on those areas where there have been major new developments in recent years.
Includes new chapters on Perinatal Nutrition and the Lung; Caffeine: Respiratory Stimulant or Magic Bullet?; Lung Ultrasound and Electrical Impedance Tomography; New Lung Imaging Techniques: CT, MRI and Other Modalities; Alveolar Homeostasis and Chronic Lung Disease; and Fetal Intervention in Congenital Malformations of the Respiratory System.
Utilizes a consistent chapter organization to help you find information quickly and easily, and contains numerous charts, graphs, radiographic images, and photographs throughout.
Offers the most authoritative advice available from world-class neonatologists who share their knowledge of new trends and developments in neonatal care.
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
Purchase each volume individually, or get the entire 7-volume Neonatology Questions and Controversies set, which includes online access that allows you to search across all titles!
