Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide to the assessment and management of high risk pregnancy.
Divided into eleven sections, the text begins with discussion on antenatal care, nutrition, genetic screening and ultrasonography-guided interventions in pregnancy.
The following sections cover different factors that cause a pregnancy to be high risk including haematological disorders, early pregnancy complications, medical disorders such as gestational diabetes and cardiac disease, obstetric complications such as eclampsia and preterm labour, infections, foetal growth problems, and autoimmune diseases.
The finals chapters discuss delivery complications and miscellaneous topics such as intrauterine foetal death, cerebrovascular accidents, ART pregnancies, and medicolegal aspects.
The book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.
