Emergencies Around Childbirth

An easy-to access resource for practising midwives, designed to enhance the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to perform effectively in urgent or emergency situations that can occur in a hospital, at a birth centre or at home. With contributions from highly experienced midwives, this handbook continues to provide key, up-to-date information on high-risk medical and obstetric situations, as well as relevant information on litigation and the conclusions of The Report on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths. It is essential reading for practising and trainee midwives, and those who teach them. --Publisher
