Résumé : This up-to-date pocket guide for use in obstetric triage and emergency settings provides speedy access to critical information needed by healthcare providers in obstetrics, midwifery, emergency medicine, and family care medicine. It includes practice protocols that offer point of service management guidelines, diagnostic parameters for robust diagnostic imagery, ultrasound and other diagnostic modalities, and easy to follow algorithms and protocols in each chapter.

This information will enable practitioners to easily recognize and understand symptomatology, lab results, diagnostic imagery and clinical workings. Chapters address over 30 clinical conditions and are consistently organized to include presenting symptomatology, patient history and data collection, physical exam findings, lab and imagery studies, differential diagnosis and clinical management protocol and follow up, and clinical management follow up. The book disseminates the contributions of expert midwives, nurse practitioners, obstetricians, gynecologists, and radiologists who evaluate more than 30,000 OB visits each year.
