Samenvatting:

If your baby is in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) right now and you want to learn about medical conditions affecting premature babies, their complications, therapies, and outcomes - this book is for You! Premature birth almost always occurs unexpectedly. Small babies are stabilized in the labor room and afterward separated from their mothers and rushed into the NICU. Babies born before 32 weeks of gestational age will have to spend many weeks or even months in that alienating environment. A multitude of scary-looking equipment and an alphabet soup of medical conditions used in conversations between you and NICU staff will create a lot of anxiety for you. Acquired knowledge about prematurity and familiarity with the NICU environment will undoubtedly influence your emotions favorably. You will also be more confident whenever you need to discuss your child's progress or have to consent to a procedure or surgery.
