Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care

Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care
By Thomas H. Bourne, George Condous

* Publisher: Informa HealthCare
* Number Of Pages: 170
* Publication Date: 2006-10-17
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1842143239

Product Description:
Problems in early pregnancy are among the most common conditions in gynecology and – with management becoming less invasive and depending more on accurate ultrasound and a good understanding of serum biochemistry – many countries now recommend that all maternity units have an early pregnancy section dedicated to managing these conditions. In addition to this, the subject is also an essential part of the training syllabus in the speciality of maternal-fetal medicine. Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care is a practical guide for the management of at-risk early pregnancy. The chapters are concise, well-illustrated and contain decision trees for the management of each condition. Focusing on practical management, not just research, this helpful text will be beneficial in the clinic, as contributors are encouraged to tell the readers what to do in critical situations. Covering key points and containing illustrative case studies, this handbook is relevant to trainees in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics, as well asnurses and sonographers who see many at-risk patients in the early stages of pregnancy.

A Textbook of Postpartum Hemorrhage

By FRCOG, Christopher B-Lynch FRCS, PhD Louis Keith MD, FRCSC, FRCOG Andre Lalonde MD, MD Mahantesh Karoshi MBBS, Arnaldo Acosta

Publisher: Sapiens Publishing
Number Of Pages: 500
Publication Date: 2006
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0955228212
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780955228216
Binding: Hardcover

The objective of this book is to bring together within a single volume the most up to date information about the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of postpartum hemorrhage. Whilst much has been published on the subject a truly comprehensive synthesis of this kind has never before been attempted. This volume sets out, therefore, to provide physicians with an overall clinical perspective that has hitherto been unavailable. The volume is essentially practical in orientation addressing specific issues that confront any obstetrician responsible for the management of postpartum hemorrhage. In particular it features new surgical techniques that have been shown to be markedly successful and straigh forward to apply, and which have clear advantages over emergency hysterectomy in many instances. Other important issues that are reviewed in detail include causation, prevention, therapy for atonic and non-atonic conditions, and long term consequenses Written by an international team of specially invited experts, this book should meet a genuine need. In particular it is hoped it will contribute in a practical way to management of postpartum hemorrhage in developing countries where scarcity of resources may be compounded by a lack of clinically reliable information about the last theraputic advances
