Focusing on emergencies for midwives, this handbook is designed to enhance confidence, knowledge and skills. It provides an easy-to-use resource for practising midwives to build on their understanding of urgent or emergency situations, and explores the range of actions that can be taken by midwives at hospital, a birth centre or at home. It also covers the less common conditions that can complicate pregnancies. With contributions from highly experienced midwives, it provides key information on high-risk medical and obstetric situations, contains relevant information on litigation and also examines conclusions from The Report on Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths.
