Neonatal Brain Injury: An Illustrated Guide for Clinicians Counselling Parents and Caregivers

This book in Open Access is the first to provide clinicians with practical guidelines to explain the most frequently occurring neonatal brain injuries to parents and caretakers. The brains of high-risk neonates are vulnerable to often severe injury, and brain injuries are among the most serious complications in patients admitted to neonatal intensive care. In addition to basic explanations on the origin, extent, severity, consequences, and treatment options, the book provides illustrations and representative imaging examples that enable clinicians to provide parents with the necessary information in a clear and concise way, using lay language and simple drawings. Therefore, this book is a valuable resource for practitioners from various disciplines, including neonatologists, pediatricians, neurologists, (neuro- and pediatric-) radiologists, neonatal nurse specialists, and physician assistants. This is an open access book.
