The second edition of a comprehensive guide to the management of perinatal emergencies to improve maternal and neonatal health.
This Handbook on Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes in a Low Resource Setting is very important from the Obstetrician s point of view. It concerns one of the 5 Ps, i.e. postpartum hemorrhage, preterm labor, pregnancy hypertension, PROM and parturition problems which cause most of the maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity not only in the AOFOG federation but also in the whole world. This handbook looks at the disease from an Asian perspective. Most of the literature on the topic have been from a Western view and it isrefreshing to look at it from another angle. This book addresses a complication of pregnancy, which tests the skill of the obstetrician as far as decision-making is concerned. The extent of neonatal services available largely determines the course of management that eventually choose in such a patient. In a low resource setting, where obstetric and neonatal services are not at their best decision making, the management is more difficult. This book will provide useful and comprehensive guidance to the frontline workers in Obstetrics and Gynecology to help them to manage this important and challenging condition."
Global and national confidential inquiry reports show that 60 to 80% of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality are due to avoidable errors. This comprehensive and illustrated second edition offers a practical guide to the management of obstetric, medical, surgical, anaesthetic and newborn emergencies in addition to organisational and training issues. The book is divided conveniently into nine sections and updated throughout in line with modern research and practice. Several new chapters cover setting up skills and drills training in maternity services to reduce avoidable harm, managing obstetric emergencies during 'home births' and in low-risk midwifery units, and minimizing maternal and fetal morbidity in failed operative vaginal delivery. Each chapter includes a practical algorithm for quick reference, the scientific basis for proposed actions, a case-based practical exercise and useful learning tools such as 'Key Pearls' and 'Key Pitfalls'. An invaluable resource for obstetricians, neonatologists, midwives, medical students, anesthesiologists and the wider perinatal team.
