Changing demographics and evolving technology continuously
affect maternal-fetal medicine
Increasing maternal age and weight during pregnancy, higher
rates of pregnancies conceived by artificial reproductive
technologies and growing numbers of cesarean deliveries have led to
a rise in the incidence of complicated pregnancies. The options
have also increased for monitoring maternal and fetal health
throughout a pregnancy, and identifying and managing risk
earlier.
For the maternal-fetal physician, constant vigilance throughout
a pregnancy remains essential. But continuous change makes this an
increasing challenge. Queenan’s Management of High-Risk
Pregnancy covers the full spectrum of perinatal care. It guides
you through the tough and complex decisions needed to protect the
health of both your fetal and the maternal patients.
New material in the 6th edition covers contemporary issues such
as:
* Iron-deficient anemia
* Malaria
* Pregnancy in the disabled woman
* Placenta accreta
* Induction of labor
* Operative vaginal delivery
* Patient safety in labor and delivery
The stellar cast of expert authors provide evidence, algorithms,
case studies and potential outcome measures to ensure that
Queenan’s Management of High-Risk Pregnancy continues to set
the bar for maternal-fetal practice.
