In English, unique in the German language - the standard work on neonatology. Over 50 experts have compiled the current state of knowledge on common and rare diseases, as well as the pathophysiological backgrounds of neonatal medicine. Each disease is described with its etiology, diagnostics, and therapy, and is illustrated with highlight boxes, graphics, and images - from the prematurely born child weighing far less than 1000 g to the full-term "bundle of joy." This book is intended for outpatient and inpatient specialists and training assistants in pediatrics and gynecology, anesthesia, pediatric surgery, and general medicine. Whether as foundational knowledge or for quick reference - it is for anyone who bears the responsibility for the smallest patients. New in the 2nd edition: Current guidelines and standard values, and new chapters such as the presentation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Always accessible.
