- Summary:
- The ninth edition of this highly successful textbook (previously entitled Vulliamy's The Newborn Child) gives a comprehensive overview of perinatal care from the normal infant to complex care of extreme preterm infants. The Newborn Child provides an evidence-based introduction to the medical and nursing care of healthy, sick and malformed babies from conception to the end of the first month of life. It includes demographics, statistics, psychological and ethical issues and a neonatal drug formulary. This is an invaluable text for all midwives, neonatal nurses, health visitors, medical students and junior doctors encountering neonatology for the first time.
