Sažetak
During previous 36 years of the development of Croatian perinatology, at »Perinatal days« were presented over 2200 invited lectures and free papers, published on over 2600 pages. Almost all actual perinatal topics, which in the meantime appeared, have been elaborated. In this paper the decrease of active participation with free papers of the participants during last years is discussed. The recommendations for future activities are presented: the education at all levels of maternal and children care, especially regarding the prevention, screening, diagnostics and treatment of preterm birth and of intrauterine fetal growth restriction. The importance of the at a right time microbiological and ultrasound diagnostics is stressed. The three »revolutions« in perinatal medicine are analyzed. The first one: transition of antenatal and perinatal care from midwifes to specialists in obstetrics & gynecology at first ten-years of 20-th century; the second: the significant development of perinatal technology since 1970-ties; are we now in front of the third »revolution« when the midwifes again would take over the antenatal, partal and postnatal care, while the specialists in maternal/fetal medicine and neonatologists would care only for the high risk pregnancies and for sick newborns? Are the obstetrics and neonatology (»ars obstetriciae«) being only the science and skill, or the art as well.
