The care of the premature baby is in itself difficult enough. If the complications of surgical intervention and the administration of anaesthetics are added then the surgeon, anaesthetist and intensive care therapist will be confronted with a host of critical problems in preserving the life and normal function of the baby, often over a long period of time.



This book summarises current practice in this field and provides authoritative guidance to the clinicians involved. Written by three authors of international standing this comprehensive text will establish itself as a standard work in this expanding area of medicine.
