Emergencies

This book is the Course Manual for the PROMPT course. It is essential reading for all attendees (who should read it before participating in the course) and will also provide much useful information for any health profession wishing to understand more about training for obstetric emergencies.

This text provides a practical, accessible guide to emergency situations encountered in obstetrics and gynaecology. Designed around the symptoms and signs with which the patient presents to the hospital, it explains how to arrive at a differential diagnosis and to prevent, manage, or treat an emergency.

Clear, concise and immensely practical, this book is written for those who may be involved in obstetric emergencies at all levels of care - obstetricians, trainees, family practitioners, midwives and nurses.

This practical, portable and affordable handbook serves as a rapid reference in the office or emergency room. Each chapter focuses on diagnosis and treatment and includes treatment algorithms where appropriate.

This manual is structured around the leading causes of maternal mortality and the delivery of basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care. It is meant for use by all those healthcare providers who mainly work in resource-poor settings.

This book covers the management of all major emergencies and professional dilemmas  facing the gynaecologist.
