This second edition of Intrapartum Care for the MRCOG and Beyond has been comprehensively updated to reflect current clinical practice and developments since the publication of the original edition. Six new chapters have been added on topics that have become increasingly important since the first edition of the book: improving intrapartum care; lower genital tract trauma; emergency obstetric hysterectomy; acute uterine inversion; disseminated intravascular coagulation; and acute tocolysis. The book outlines a concise and pragmatic approach to intrapartum care, with a focus on the fine clinical balance needed from midwives and obstetricians to provide the vigilant care necessary to prevent and manage the relatively rare adverse events during labour, yet support the wishes of the woman who wants minimal interference.
