Preterm birth is a major challenge in perinatal health care. Most
perinatal deaths occur in preterm infants, and preterm birth is an
important risk factor for neurological damage, including cerebral
palsy. This ABC covers all the latest information on this complex
and multidisciplinary area from obstetric issues to immediate care
of preterm infants, respiratory complications, and how to provide
support to the parents and relatives of the preterm infant.
With its clear explanation and many illustrations, general
practitioners, medical students, paediatricians starting their
postgraduate training, nurses, and midwives will find ABC of
Preterm Birth an excellent reference.
