Glossary of Terms

Kilogram
A unit of weight in the metric system. It is equal to 2.2045 lbs. Neonatal intensive care unit personnel often use the metric system of weights and measures. It is easier to use than the pound system.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
