Birth Emergencies for Community Midwives is a 554-page paperback with grayscale illustrations and is the most comprehensive textbook of its kind. It explores the recognition and management of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum complications, spanning care in community settings through definitive management in hospitals.
Although written primarily for midwives attending community births, the book integrates current evidence with holistic clinical perspectives that support safer maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes in any setting.
The text incorporates the latest research and professional guidance and includes 320 figures, 81 tables, 24 mnemonics, and numerous highlights and graphics. Each chapter begins with clearly stated objectives and a case study and concludes with discussion topics grounded in real-world practice.
Topics covered include maternal adaptations to pregnancy; critical thinking and risk assessment; recognizing and managing emergencies; antepartum bleeding; abdominal pain; respiratory distress; trauma; shock; altered level of consciousness; cardiac arrest; hypertensive disorders of pregnancy; preterm birth; preterm prelabor rupture of membranes; malpresentations; multiple gestation; cord prolapse; shoulder dystocia; fetal and neonatal health; neonatal resuscitation; low-birthweight infants; postpartum hemorrhage; differential diagnoses; client relations; intra- and interprofessional relations; transferring care; compassion fatigue and burnout; and building a safer practice.
