High-Risk Pregnancy: Management Options with Online Resource (2 Volumes) (5th Edition)

DescriptionAnswers key questions for clinicians caring for a high-risk pregnancy. Online content will be reviewed annually and updated as needed.Continuing the tradition established in prior editions, this product answers the key questions that any clinician encounters with a high-risk pregnancy: what are the risks for the woman and/or the baby with this condition? How do I manage a pregnancy complicated by this condition? How do I perform this procedure (e.g. amniocentesis, cesarean section)? All the chapters are newly written or updated to reflect current, evidence-based management and changes in practice. The ‘Normal Values’ section, a hugely popular reference source, is included. Over half of the chapters have new authors. New chapters have also been added to keep the content up to date with modern developments. The comprehensive online resource expands functionality by providing links to key websites (e.g. National Clinical Guidelines), video recordings – especially of procedures – and additional images. All online content will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary.Key FeaturesIncludes comprehensive coverage of all complications of pregnancyEach chapter has a standardized layout without any major variation in style to help facilitate navigation through the titleThe online content includes additional functionality, and all content will be reviewed and updated at least once a year to ensure that users will be up to date with modern, evidence-based practiceTable of ContentsList of contributorsPart I.
