This book presents the latest evidence-based guidelines for perinatal management and is designed to help obstetricians and neonatologists minimize complications and offer patients the best possible care. Since 1960, there has been a significant increase in basic and clinical investigations on normal and pathological pregnancy in the developed world. This has provided insights into the physiopathology of pregnant women, fetuses and newborns and led to the development of new technologies, bringing about a new medical subspecialty: perinatal medicine. The book is divided into eight main sections: The first examines basic periconceptional care and discusses the ethical aspects of perinatology. The next section focuses on prenatal considerations, such as the nutritional aspects of gestation and puerperium, physical exercise during pregnancy, routine laboratory tests, prenatal care of multiple gestations and the role of the neonatologist in prenatal care. The third and fourth sections then explore fetal evaluation, and clinical intercurrences in pregnancy, respectively. The next section addresses pregnancy complications: prevention, diagnosis and management. The sixth section covers the basic aspects of congenital infections and the seventh examines labor and delivery aspects. Lastly, the final section includes chapters on neonatal assistance. Written by leading experts in obstetrics, neonatology, and perinatology, this thoroughly updated, comprehensive resource reflects the latest information in all areas, including genetics and imaging.

Fetal medicine has emerged as a separate subspecialty over the last 30 years as a result of major advances in a number of areas, in particular ultrasound imaging, cytogenetics, molecular biology and biochemistry. The widespread use of antenatal screening and diagnostic tests has led to an increased need for obstetricians to have knowledge and skills in fetal medicine. This book provides the information that underpins training programmes in fetal medicine and integrates science and clinical disciplines in a practical and useful way. Clinical sections include: the latest advances in prenatal screening; a systems-based presentation of the diagnosis and management of fetal malformations; complete coverage of common and rare fetal conditions including growth restriction, endocrine and platelet disorders, early pregnancy loss, and twins/multiple pregnancy. More focus on important basic-science concepts, such as maternofetal cell trafficking, and the relevance to clinical management.

This unique book is a first-of-its-kind resource that comprehensively covers each facet and challenge of providing optimal perinatal palliative care. Designed for a wide and multi-disciplinary audience, the subjects covered range from theoretical to the clinical and the practically relevant, and all chapters include case studies that provide real-world scenarios as additional teaching tools for the reader. Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is divided into four sections. Part One provides the foundation, covering an overview of the field, key theories that guide the practice of perinatal palliative care, and includes a discussion of perinatal ethics and parental experiences and needs upon receiving a life-limiting fetal diagnosis. Part Two delves further into practical clinical care, guiding readers through issues of obstetrical management, genetic counseling, neonatal pain management, non-pain symptom management, spiritual care, and perinatal bereavement care. Part Three discusses models of perinatal palliative care, closely examining evidence for different types of PPC programs: from hospital-based programs, to community-based care, and examines issues of interdisciplinary PPC care coordination, birth planning, and team support. Finally, Part Four concludes the book with a close look at special considerations in the field. In this section, racial, ethnic, and cultural perspectives and implications for PPC are discussed, along with lessons in how to provide PPC for a wide-range of clinical and other healthcare workers. The book closes with a look to the future of the field of perinatal palliative care. Thorough and practical, Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is an ideal resource for any healthcare practitioner working with these vulnerable patient populations, from palliative care specialists, to obstetricians, midwifes, neonatologists, hospice providers, nurses, doulas, social workers, chaplains, therapists, ethicists, and child life specialists.

Die Perinatale Medizin ist ein wissenschaftshistorisch gesehen noch junges Fachgebiet der Medizin, das sich seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts herausgebildet hat. Wesentliche Anstöße und Innovationen verdankt sie dem wissenschaftlich-ärztlichen Wirken eines der Herausgeber des Bandes, Prof. Dr. Erich Saling, der auch "Vater der Perinatalen Medizin" genannt wird. Er hat mit der Einführung der Fetalblutanalyse erstmals einen Zugang zum Ungeborenen eröffnet, was heute als Meilenstein am Beginn der Perinatalen Medizin gilt. Mit Ausnahme der 1985 erschienenen Aufsatzsammlung von Rooth und Saugstadt existieren zur Geschichte der Perinatalen Medizin nur Einzeldarstellungen unterschiedlicher Teilgebiete (z.B. fetale Überwachung sub partu, Ultraschall), entweder als Paper in Zeitschriften oder Kapitel in entsprechenden Lehrbüchern erschienen. Bislang gibt es jedoch kein Werk, das in einem integrativen Zusammenhang die Geschichte des noch jungen Fachs mit Schwerpunkt auf dem Beginn in den 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahren aber auch unter Würdigung wesentlicher Vorläufer und kurzer Darstellung der späteren Entwicklungen aus der Sicht einiger Beteiligter darstellt. Die Autoren des Bandes sind ausgewiesene Fachleute mit teilweise jahrzehntelanger Expertise auf den von ihnen beschriebenen Feldern.
