A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The third edition of The Labor Progress Handbook builds on the success of first two editions and remains an unparalleled resource on simple, non–invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor.  Retaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the book is replete with illustrations showing position, movements, and techniques and is logically organized to facilitate ease of use.

This edition includes two new chapters on third and fourth stage labor management and low–technology interventions, a complete analysis of directed versus spontaneous pushing, and additional information on massage techniques. The authors have updated references throughout, expertly weaving the highest level of evidence with years of experience in clinical practice.

The Labor Progress Handbook continues to be a must–have resource for those involved in all aspects of birth by providing practical instruction on low–cost, low–risk interventions to manage and treat dystocia.
