Neonatologi

En for tidlig fødsel kommer næsten altid uventet. Derfor er mange forældre ikke forberedte på de specielle forhold, der gør sig gældende for præmaturfødte børn under indlæggelsen og den første tid hjemme.”Født for tidligt”, som blev udgivet første gang i 1998 og siden revideret i 2007 og 2024, er en praktisk håndbog med mere end et halvt hundrede emner ordnet alfabetisk. Bogen gør det nemt at finde svar på de spørgsmål, som melder sig: Hvordan finder man sig til rette og føler sig tryg og oplyst i forløbet på neonatalafsnittet? Hvad kan man som forældre selv gøre for at hjælpe barnet? Hvordan får man det lille barn til at die? Hvad kan man forvente, når man kommer hjem fra hospitalet? Hvordan udvikler barnet sig? Ud over de hundredvis af praktiske råd beskriver bogen også de følelsesmæssige reaktioner, forældre oplever ved og efter en for tidlig fødsel.Bogens indledning er skrevet af professor og overlæge i pædiatri dr.med. Gorm Greisen, der er tilknyttet Afdeling for intensiv behandling af nyfødte og mindre børn på Rigshospitalet.Læs den og brug den!

Initially known for its beautiful images of the faces of babies, 3D ultrasound has, however, become an important tool in prenatal diagnosis for its ability to image fetal organs in normal and abnormal conditions. This book is a state-of-the-art work conceived as a practical guide to the application of 3D ultrasound in obstetrics. The authors of this book have extensive expertise in 3D ultrasound that spans for more than 25 years. The book has three sections: one section on the technical principles of 3D ultrasound, a second section on various 3D rendering tools with a step-by-step explanation of its use. The third section is dedicated to the clinical use of 3D in the examination of the fetal organs. In this 2nd edition, the entire book has been revised and actualized.

Die 3D-Ultraschalldiagnostik hat in den letzten Jahren die Betreuung in der Schwangerschaft erobert. Anfänglich bekannt für die schönen Bilder der Gesichter der Feten, hat sich der 3D-Ultraschalldiagnostik jedoch zu einem wichtigen Werkzeug in der Pränataldiagnostik entwickelt, das er in der Lage ist, die fetalen Organe unter normalen und auffälligen Bedingungen räumlich abzubilden. Dabei können viele Funktionen wie eine neu zu erlernende Software bedient werden. Die Autoren verfügen über 25 Jahre Erfahrungen auf dem Gebiet der 3D-Sonographie. Dieses Werk versteht sich als praktischer Leitfaden, um die vielen 3D-Funktionen zu erläutern. Das Buch ist in drei Abschnitte gegliedert: ein Abschnitt über die technischen Grundlagen des 3D-Ultraschalls, ein zweiter Abschnitt über verschiedene 3D-Rendering-Programme mit einer schrittweisen Erklärung ihrer Anwendung. Der dritte Abschnitt ist dem klinischen Einsatz von 3D bei der Untersuchung der fetalen Organe gewidmet. In dieser 2. Auflage wurde das gesamte Buch neu überarbeitet.
