Necrotising Enterocolitis in Clinical Practice

There is a very large body of literature on Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC), much of it is confusing and contradictory. This book consolidates all the relevant aspects to provide clinicians and especially trainees with an overview of this condition which informs clinical practice and aids critical appraisal of new research in this area.

The topic of NEC is often a single chapter in a paediatric surgical or neonatology text. This book is an invaluable guide for anyone caring for neonates.

Ian Jones is a paediatric surgeon and researcher, working at Birmingham Children's Hospital, UK. He completed a PhD at the University of Southampton. This worked looked at the potential of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning as a novel therapy for Necrotising Enterocolitis.
