This book presents a focused overview of neurological injuries caused to the developing fetal brain from asphyxia during pregnancy and discusses the etiology and mechanism of fetal asphyxia; optimal surveillance and imaging strategies for diagnosing and assessing fetal brain damage, clinical protocols for pregnancies at risk; and risk and liability management strategies.

Insights and findings are presented from world renowned clinical and basic science investigators who have made pioneering contributions in this critical area of maternal-fetal medicine.
