Product Description
Pregnancies compromised by
disease, trauma, substance abuse, and other factors are not uncommon.
They clearly demand special attention from the obstetrician, obstetric
nurse, primary care physician and others. Through three successful
editions, Queenan has provided these audiences with a concise yet
complete guide to managing pregnant patients and fetuses at risk.
For
the fourth edition, Dr Queenan has replaced up to a third of the 96
contributors to get some "new blood" into the book. He has invited more
contributions from European authors in order to better cater to an
international readership. The book does, however, retain the popular
"protocols" theme, in which very brief chapters on the spectrum of HRP
topics provide quick summaries of a problem and diagnostic and
therapeutic steps to manage it. Every chapter has been revised
carefully to reflect the latest thinking on the best approach to
pregnant patients with risks like tuberculosis, STDs, bleeding,
pre-eclampsia, etc. The many quick reference tables and charts are
updated as, are the brief bibliographies accompanying each chapter.
This
new edition provides increased coverage of IUGR, Pre-eclampsia,
teratology and genetics. New chapters have been introduced on doppler
ultrasound, nuchal translucency and also on AIDS in pregnancy.
Furthermore
this fourth edition is evidence-based. The new editor, Catherine Spong,
is a guru of evidence-based medicine and as well as one of the editors
of the journal of the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists: Obstetrics and Gynaecology, directs the foetal medicine
programme at the National Institute of Health in Washington.
