Diagnose and treat shaken baby syndrome with advice from experts in
the field When an angry adult shakes a baby, the child may suffer
brain damage, broken ribs, deafness, mental retardation, cerebral
palsy, coma, or death. Often there are personal, ethical, and legal
consequences as well for everyone involved. The Shaken Baby
Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary Approach is the first book to cover
the full spectrum of shaken baby syndrome (SBS), from public health
implications to prosecution. Because SBS causes so much damage and
has so many implications, every case requires the cooperation of a
team of professionals ranging from ophthalmologists to attorneys.
The Shaken Baby Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary Approach will help
you understand what responsibilities each member of the SBS team
has, thus enabling you to work together more productively. The more
smoothly the team works, the better the results for the child are
likely to be. The Shaken Baby Syndrome: A Multidisciplinary
Approach offers expert information and advice on every aspect of
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, including: who
shakes babies and why they do it what biomechanical effects occur
when a child is shaken what symptoms and signs various medical
specialists--radiographers, ophthalmologists, neurologists,
pathologists--should look for in potential cases of SBS how medical
social workers should approach cases of suspected SBS how police
can most effectively investigate SBS how to prosecute SBS
perpetrators how educators, public health workers, counselors, and
social workers can prevent SBS This comprehensive reference is
essential for anyone who encounters SBS, including emergency room
personnel, physicians, nurses, social workers, police officers,
attorneys, and child care workers. Every year thousands of babies
are shaken badly enough to cause damage. The Shaken Baby Syndrome:
A Multidisciplinary Approach offers the information you need to
help those children.
