It includes new material on the vitamin K controversy; HIV and the management of the infant at high risk of infection; improved guidelines for the diagnosis, significance, and treatment of hypoglycaemia; and the handling of the well baby with unexpected findings on antenatal ultrasound. Not a single section in the book has been left untouched by rigorous updating aided by detailed specialist reviews. Important trends and growing problems in modern neonatal care, such as the increase in the number of home births, a greater knowledge of the effects of maternal infection, and the ongoing controversy regarding formula foods, are extensively covered.
