Infos

This book provides a case-based approach to diagnosing, stabilizing, and facilitating the next steps for optimal care for peripartum and newborn patients. Hundreds of women die annually in the United States due to pregnancy or its complications, yet about 80% of these deaths are preventable. This book aims to improve outcomes by providing simple and memorable context to help guide diagnosis and management of peripartum and newborn emergencies, which will be valuable for just-in-time learning and studying.

This book is structured into three major sections: early pregnancy emergencies, late pregnancy emergencies, and neonatal emergencies. This helps facilitate "can't miss" differential diagnoses based initially on timing during the peripartum period. Each chapter presents a true-to-life case based on emergencies managed by the author, a skilled physician trained in emergency or pediatric medicine. Each case will walk the reader through details of a patient that presents to the emergency department, how to uncover the ultimate diagnosis, and how to care for the patient. Each case will include relevant radiographic images or algorithms. Authors have also provided tips and tricks to help uncover a diagnosis and to manage an obstetric emergency even with limited resources.

Emergency Medicine Case-Based Guide: Obstetric Emergencies is meant to strengthen emergency physicians in their patient care and improve the outcomes of mothers and babies.
