Fanaroff and Martin's Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine examines disorders affecting the fetus and newborn across antenatal assessment, intensive care, and follow-up. The eleventh edition brings fetal medicine, neonatal physiology, genetics, and disease management together for neonatologists, perinatologists, pediatric trainees, and other professionals studying the care of high-risk infants.
Digital ebook. No physical book.
The continuum from fetal life to infancy shapes the organization of this neonatal-perinatal reference. Sections address antenatal diagnosis, placental pathology, neonatal resuscitation, and the disorders encountered in intensive care. Molecular biology and genetics provide context for understanding developmental problems and inherited disease.
Clinical subject areas include respiratory distress and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neonatal infections, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and nutritional support for term and preterm infants. Ethical and legal questions are considered alongside the longer-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of high-risk birth. The eleventh edition offers specialist-level material for neonatal and maternal-fetal medicine training, while its illustrations support study of the physiological processes underlying the clinical discussions.
Fanaroff and Martin's reference follows the fetus into infancy, treating antenatal assessment, intensive care and follow-up as one continuum. The eleventh edition combines fetal medicine, neonatal physiology, genetics and disease management for specialists caring for high-risk newborns and their families.
Sections begin before birth with antenatal diagnosis and placental pathology, then move to resuscitation and the disorders seen in intensive care. Molecular and genetic material supplies context for developmental and inherited problems. Clinical chapters cover respiratory distress and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, neonatal infection, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and nutritional support for term and preterm infants. Ethical and legal questions sit beside long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, and illustrations support study of the physiology beneath each clinical discussion. Genetics and molecular biology supply context for developmental and inherited disease throughout the volume.
Antenatal diagnosis and placental pathology are placed at the start because the newborn's condition often begins before delivery. The chapter sequence encourages reading fetal findings and neonatal course as one clinical story.
The move from fetal to newborn circulation requires rapid adaptation. Resuscitation material is organized around assessment and response, with physiology supplying the reason for each step.
Respiratory distress in the newborn spans several mechanisms, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia represents injury that persists. The chapters link ventilator strategy and oxygen exposure to longer-term lung development.
Neonatal infection and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy present diagnostic and timing challenges. The text connects risk factors, clinical signs and imaging to management decisions that carry long-term consequences.
Nutritional support differs between term and preterm infants because requirements and tolerance differ. The material ties feeding choices to growth, complications and later development rather than treating nutrition as an isolated order.
Decisions at the edge of viability and in prolonged intensive care involve values as well as evidence. The closing material pairs ethical and legal reasoning with structured follow-up of neurodevelopmental outcomes.
