Case Studies in Obstetric Medicine (Hardcover)

Many fields within obstetric medicine have progressed rapidly since the first edition of the classic 'Handbook of Obstetric Medicine' was published. This book complements the original publication and will be an essential tool for all those preparing for postgraduate examinations such as MRCOG and higher examinations in Primary Care and Midwifery. Basic scientific as well as clinical research continue to improve our understanding of pregnancy-specific disorders such as pre-eclampsia and obstetric cholestasis but in order to ensure the best treatment for their patients, obstetricians and all those involved in both prenatal and postnatal care need to keep abreast of all the latest research findings and know how to apply that knowledge in a clinical setting and for higher qualifications. Case Studies in Obstetric Medicine, provides the reader with the ideal tool for both requirements with its pragmatic, case-based approach.
