Maternal, Fetal, and Neonatal Physiology: A Clinical Perspective
by Susan Tucker Blackburn
Book Description
MATERNAL, FETAL, AND NEONATAL PHYSIOLOGY focuses on normal physiologic changes that occur throughout all periods of the perinatal experience with an emphasis on the mother, fetus, and neonate and the relationships between them. An in-depth study in the physiology of major body systems and metabolic processes through post-partum includes placental, myometrial, and lactation physiology, and the developmental physiology of preterm and term neonates. This text provides a solid foundation for assessment andtherapeutic interventions applicable to advanced practice, offering clinical applications immediately relevant to patient care. The second edition features expanded content on adrenal and thyroid function and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Two new chapters cover Pharmacokinetics During the Perinatal Period and Reproductive Processes, including endocrinology, processes, and clinical implications for both the female and the male.
