Reviews

`This book should interest the clinician, whether neonatologist, pediatrician, intensivist or anesthetist, who is involved in the clinical care of infants and children with cardiopulmonary disease. It is an excellent source of up-to-date information which would be difficult to find in standard textbooks. The busy clinician who wishes to keep abreast of a wide field of physiological and clinical information in the field of pulmonary research in infants and its practical applications, will find the book most interesting and stimulating.'
