Beschreibung

For many years we have been talking about a very special patient, the embryo; and the numerous and encouraging successes brought about by embryofetal medicine in the application of both noninvasive therapies and invasive ultrasound-guided tre- ment are well known. On the other hand, it is more and more often the case today that the small patients in neonatal care are premature babies who have come to the world at a particul- ly low gestational age. This allows us to observe the continuity between the ph- es of growth inside the maternal uterus and after birth, which arrives at the correct moment for some lucky fetuses, for others very early, and for some altogether too soon. The neonatologists have the arduous task of sustaining these little patients in their strivings to survive, registering their energy and their vital dynamism, stu- ing the progressive development of the anatomical structures and the improvement of their physiology, verifying day by day the presence - sometimes fragile, so- times extremely resistant, but always human - of a child. A long line research has shown how, from the first moment onwards in that process of perfectly coordinated development that characterizes the life of the embryo, a human being gradually emerges who is increasingly able to interact with his or her environment.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

From the reviews:

"This book, authored mostly by Italian physicians and scientists, describes pain in the fetus and neonate and its consequences in later life. . This is a good resource for neonatologists, obstetricians, pediatric surgeons, and other medical and nursing professionals in the field of perinatal care. . This is a good book on many aspects of fetal and neonatal pain that provides a fairly extensive review of the world literature on this controversial subject." (Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Review Service, March, 2008)

"Neonatal Pain . presents nineteen contributions by an international group of physicians and scientists which describe and review recent medical studies indicating that fetuses and newborns do suffer pain and stress and that these stresses may have adverse effects on the children's mental, physical, and emotional development. . provides an accessible and valuable resource for the nonscientific expert. The authors also . highlight potential health problems in the fetus and developing child that may arise in response to pain and stress." (Katherine Helming, The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, Winter, 2009)
