The new 3rd Edition of Fetal and Neonatal Physiology is today's most encyclopedic, in-depth compendium of knowledge on the normal and abnormal physiology of the foetus and neonate. Over 270 international authorities detail the unique characteristics that distinguish foetal and neonatal physiology from the physiology of adults - and, where appropriate, address the pathophysiology and clinical management of selected neonatal diseases.
