Product Description

This essential handbook 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. The obstetric emergencies section covers topics from early pregnancy through to post-delivery complications, whilst the gynaecologic emergencies section addresses those issues that could potentially pose a threat to a women's fertility or even her life. This book will provide trainees and specialist nurses in obstetrics and gynaecology and emergency medicine with an invaluable source of information that can be carried in the pocket, handbag, or briefcase.

Review
This is a helpful resource in a field where there is a clear lack of resources specifically dealing with this topic...Overall, this is practical and useful for heathcare professionals dealing with obstetrics and gynaecology patients. (Doody's Notes )
