Abstract

Neonatal-perinatal medicine is a relatively new subspecialty of pediatrics. However, during the last half century, there has been significant improvement in patient outcomes, reflecting increased use of evidence-based medicine in routine clinical practice. The clinical practice of neonatology is changed from providing ventilation and survival to avoiding lung and brain injury and promote neurodevelopmental outcome. The survival at age of viability and survival with complex congenital problems has been steadily raising.

The purpose of this chapter is not to provide an exhaustive review but rather to highlight some concepts of newborn care including recent updates.

The first half of chapter addresses normal newborn care while the second part presents some common neonatal diseases and issues resulting in admission to Neonatal intensive Care Unit (NICU).
