Over the last ten years, pregnancy has not only become more
complicated for many women, but the traditional provision of
general intensive care units has been reduced. To bridge this gap,
critical care units, usually staffed by midwives, have been set up
in many maternity units. This textbook is an accessible and
comprehensive introduction to this emerging area of practice.
Critical Care Assessment by Midwives also notably sets out a
template for assessment of women that will enable early
identification of deteriorating health. Serious illness can arise
subsequent to an emergency, a pre-existing illness or a
complication of pregnancy but can also occur in the context of what
appears to be a low risk pregnancy. For this reason, all midwives
need to be skilled in assessment that facilitates timely,
appropriate referrals and saves lives. It covers: ABCDE assessment
tailored for midwives; assessment of cardiac conditions;
aassessment of respiratory conditions; assessment of neurological
conditions; pre-eclampsia; haemorrhage; shock, including
hypovolaemia, sepsis and anaphylaxis; haemodynamic monitoring;
fluid replacement and balance; ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia and
sickle cell crisis. Covering the context of care, relevant
pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, specific assessment in detail,
relevant drugs, assessment of the fetus, summaries of management,
psychosocial support and the specific professional responsibilities
of the midwife, this is an essential guide for all midwives and
midwifery students.
