Summary:

The need for a clear, evidence-based approach is never greater than when you manage a high-risk pregnancy. With its coverage of the full spectrum of topics in perinatal care, this book helps you make the tough and complex decisions needed to protect the health of both the fetus and the mother. By consulting Management of High-Risk Pregnancy, Fifth Edition, you can minimize risk for both your patients and your practice.

An international assembly of leading obstetricians - each specializing in a particular aspect of high-risk pregnancy - evaluates the data to determine the best approaches in areas such as: cardiac disease, renal disease and renal transplant recipients, AIDS and HIV infection, preeclampsia, prematurity, breech delivery, fetal surgery, alcohol and substance abuse. Tables and charts help you make comparisons and judge the pros and cons of alternatives for a particular patient. Actual case studies support the authors' recommendations and serve as templates for your own practice, so you can be sure your decisions are both effective and evidence-based. With Management of High-Risk Pregnancy, An Evidence-Based Approach, Fifth Edition, you can concentrate on providing the best possible care to your high-risk patients.
