Description
Pain in newborns, previously ignored by medicine and by society, has now witnessed an explosion of interest and a major reorientation of attitudes and clinical practices. Written by researchers and clinicians at the forefront of this revolution, "Pain in Neonates" surveys current data from the basic, clinical, and social sciences pertaining to this growing area of research. The book's multidisciplinary approach and current data, the thorough understanding of the anatomic, physiologic, behavioral, and clinical correlates of pain in newborn infants, and its reflection of social, ethical, legal and futuristic aspects of clinical pain and pain research in neonates, should make it of value to all professionals involved in the care of neonates.
