PRIMARY CARE OF THE PREMATURE INFANT
Author/Editor: BRODSKY & OUELLETTE
Published: 15/08/07
Published by: SAUNDERS
ISBN: 9781416000396
Media: hard cover
Edition:

Preterm births at gestational ages between 34 through 36 completed weeks account for a significant proportion of all births in the United States and worldwide. Studies have shown that compared to term infants, these "near term" infants are more prone to neonatal and post-natal morbidities, and are more likely to be rehospitalized. This issue will provide an overview of the physiology of the late gestation pregnancy and birth, and cover a broad range of neonatal problems encountered in these infants including respiratory distress, jaundice, feeding problems, and neurologic injury. This issue will be of value to obstetricians, pediatricians, neonatologists, and other health professionals involved in the care of late gestation births.
