The need for accurate information about the anatomy of the newborn
infant led to the publication in 1968 of Dr. Crelin's large and
detailed atlas, the first of its kind. The present volume is a
synopsis of that atlas. Professionals and paraprofessionals who
deal with the newborn will find it a highly useful and convenient
reference. Since the newborn infant is not a miniature adult, those
parts of the infant's functional anatomy that differ most from the
adult receive the greatest emphasis. Each structure is discussed in
a separate section that includes, where pertinent, the time during
prenatal development or after birth that the structure first
appears and/or functions. Clinically important information such as
pulse rate, blood pressure, blood cell counts, body temperature,
and breathing rate is also included. The three full-page plates of
the whole body have general clinical application since they make it
possible to relate internal body parts to the surface of the body
of the newborn infant. This concise volume will be of great value
to obstetricians, pediatricians, surgeons, anesthesiologists,
radiologists, pathologists, family physicians, and nurses. The work
is unique and represents Dr. Crelin's twenty years of experience in
teaching anatomy and as a consultant to the Newborn Special Care
Unit of the Yale-New Haven Medical Center.
