Completely revised, the second edition of Key Topics in Neonatology provides a practical, systematic reference for all the major topics in neonatal medicine. Practical and easy to use, the book retains the same well-received format as the first edition, updates subject matter where significant recent developments have taken place, and widens the scope of the text by adding entirely new coverage.
