Emergencies

The revised and updated second edition of Emergencies Around Childbirth continues to provide an easy-to access resource for practising midwives. It will enhance the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to perform effectively in urgent or emergency situations that can occur in a hospital, at a birth centre or at home.

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.

Revised and updated for its fourth edition, the Handbook of Obstetric and Gynecologic Emergencies is designed for rapid reference in the office or emergency room. The focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of all emergent conditions and non-emergent problems, such as sexually transmitted diseases, that frequently present in emergency departments.

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