A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The right for every woman to have a 'natural' birth has been recognized for many years, yet surgical interventions continue to rise and, paradoxically, complaints and the degree of litigation for disappointing labor outcomes escalate. Proactive Support of Labor enhances professional skills by providing the expertise for preventing long labors - the root-cause of traumatic birth experiences and the cesarean pandemic. Step-by-step, evidence-based guidance on expert care and support during labor is given. Emphasis is placed on pre-labor education, personal attention, and well-defined birth planning – including strict diagnoses and timely corrective measures in abnormal labor – and constant audit of all procedures and outcomes. Striking a new balance between natural birth and intervention, and invariably enhancing women's satisfaction with the childbirth experience, the fully updated revision of this groundbreaking work will be essential reading for obstetricians, midwives, nurses, and trainees.

Revue de presse :

'This book is worthwhile reading for everybody involved in birth care, especially for junior staff with limited obstetric training ... It is a good teaching resource in developing countries and provides a good starting point for cooperation between primary and secondary care providers.' Arie C. Glas, Bulletin of the Netherlands Society for Tropical Medicine and International Health
