PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Certain medical and surgical conditions presenting at delivery or during the neonatal period require prompt diagnosis and timely treatment to effect a good outcome. Recent advances in prenatal diagnostic technology, including ultrasound techniques, fetal echocardiography, and fetal MRI imaging, can facilitate prenatal counseling as well as plans for delivery room and neonatal management. However, these techniques do not substitute for a careful newborn assessment and postnatal imaging to confirm and expand upon any prenatal diagnostic studies. Coordination of care is essential, because these conditions typically require the involvement of surgical and medical subspecialty providers. The neonatologist or pediatrician should ensure intervention is timely and in the patient’s best interest, and should facilitate appropriate communication with family.
