Von der hinteren Coverseite

The management of labor and delivery requires skilled physical diagnosis to make the most refined diagnostic judgments. It demands the synthesis of several simultaneously acquired lines of diagnostic evidence to balance the risks of intervention and watchful expectancy. During labor, fetal information must be constantly integrated with facts about the mother to determine the probability that a normal vaginal delivery will ensue or whether pharmacologic or surgical intervention will be necessary to optimize safety.

Fundamental clinical skills provide the bedrock on which technology can be best applied. Labor and Delivery Care: A Practical Guide supports and reinforces the acquisition of the practical obstetric skills needed for aiding a successful birth.
