Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Labor dystocia, or failure to progress in labor, has numerous and often combined etiologies, and is the number on reason for cesarean deliveries.

The Labor Progress Handbook focuses on ways to prevent dystocia, and to manage or treat it before it becomes severe. When interventions are needed, it suggests simple, non-invasive interventions to use early, when they will be more effective. Based on the principle that the woman s participation is essential to the preventive management of dystocia, it will help increase patient satisfaction while reducing the need for more complex and costly interventions. With seven chapters organized by the stage of labor and suspected etiology, the book describes positions, movements, and techniques based on principles of anatomy, physiology, and psychology of childbirth. Designed for easy reference, it allows caregivers to identify appropriate interventions quickly.

Key features:

• Designed as a quick reference


• Gives evidence-based strategies where scientific evidence exists


• Based on the clinical experience of caregivers


• Includes rationales for all techniques


• Provides numerous clear illustrations

The labor Progress Handbook provides midwives, nurses, doctors, doulas, and childbirth educators with strategies to maintain normal labor progress.
