This Open Access book is the first to provide clinicians with practical guidelines to explain the most frequently occurring neonatal brain injuries to parents and caretakers.
The brains of high-risk neonates are vulnerable to injury, and brain injuries are among the most serious complications in babies admitted to neonatal intensive care units. In addition to basic explanations about the origin, extent, severity, consequences, and treatment options of different types of brain injury, the book provides illustrations and representative brain imaging examples that enable clinicians to provide parents with necessary information, presented in a clear and concise way, using lay language and explanatory drawings. There is also a section in each chapter for parents to have for themselves.
Therefore, this book is a valuable resource for practitioners from various disciplines, including neonatologists, pediatricians, neurologists, (neuro- and pediatric-) radiologists, neonatal nurse specialists, and physician assistants.
