About this title

Synopsis

Dr Tsang, along with 20 leading world experts, has brought together a scholarly systematic approach that provides the rationale for administering nutrients to pre-term infants. The text covers all aspects of nutrition including fluids, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Individual sections focus on the special needs of very small infants, weighing less than 2 pounds. Comprehensive in scope, this book effectively brings together current information available and takes into account the needs of different countries.
