What to read after Physiological Monitoring and Instrument Diagnosis in Perinatal and Neonatal Medicine?

This book sets out to provide perinatologists and neonatologists with an understandable explanation of the principles and application of commonly used technologies in their field, and to stimulate a more critical review of available biotechnology and its rational use. Each self-contained chapter is written by a physician, a bioengineer or a physicist, and together they present a clear account of the technology underlying each of the principal imaging modalities, tissue oxygenation measurement, electrical monitoring, ventilators, incubators and the measurement of blood flow and bilirubin levels, with a brief review of the practical uses of the technology, and an evaluation of its risks and benefits, including cost-effectiveness. A comprehensive reference for clinicians on the major technologies that have been applied in fetal and neonatal medicine. The many diagrams and illustrations provide a strong visual emphasis that will add further to its appeal to a broad clinical readership.
