Obstetrics Manual

The revised edition of The Obstetrics Manual provides for rural or isolated General Practitioners, General Practitioner trainees and medical students a valuable guide to the safe care of low- and medium-risk pregnancies. This edition incorporates new evidence where appropriate. This manual approaches the material from the perspective of modern minimal-interventionist obstetrics and emphasises the need to understand the objectives of treatment and the limitations of the practitioner. Thus the author deliberately examines the care of normal pregnancy and pre-pregnancy couselling before examining those abnormalities - antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum - which may complicate a pregnancy. Features include: Text aimed at covering the curriculum for training in Advanced OBstetric Skills for Rural General Practitioners; Content aimed at practitioners who do not have specialist assistance within reasonable proximity; Protocol focus; Concise and thorough coverage of the subject; Current information.Humphrey, Michael D. is the author of 'Obstetrics Manual' with ISBN 9780074707500 and ISBN 0074707507.
