Rezensionen

Reviews of 1st edition:"The important facts are laid out concisely, primarily focusing onmanagement and using evidence-based guidelines for best midwiferypractice." (The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 2010)

"A strength of this book is that it has an unashamedly simpleat-a-glance format, easy to get used to. The chapters are based onthe traditional systems approach with sections dealing withdisorders and diseases...the important facts are laid outconcisely, primarily focusing on management, using evidence basedguidelines for best midwifery practice." (RCGP Journal,April 2010)

"This is an excellent book for use in the clinical arenaby nurse midwives, nurses, and other healthcare practitionerscaring for women with preexisting medical problems."(Doody's Reviews, June 2009)

"The editors highlight recognition of deviation from the normalas an essential component of midwifery and have provided a manualthat will be appreciated by midwives in all areas of practice andwill be of great value to students studying high-risk modules."(Midwives, April/May 2009)

"This book is a must have for any midwife, particularly thoseworking in the community, clinics and in high-risk areas.... Thisbook is an extremely useful reference tool. For students midwivesit is an essential read when undertaking the 'complications' moduleof their course." (MIDIRS Midwifery Digest, January2009)

I am currently a final year student midwife and can confidentlysay that this book has a simple with easy to read definitions ofeach disorder. It has clear details on the management in pregnancy,labour and following birth from a midwifery perspective - a mustfor any student midwife and a fantastic reference for all qualifiedmidwives. (5* Amazon Review )

"This book is a long awaited text providing a comprehensive lookat many of the medical conditions encountered by women duringchildbirth. Other texts with similar content have been recentlyproduced but this text has the advantage of the information beingpresented in tabular format, thus making it easy to follow and anideal reference tool. The care for each condition is broken downinto pregnancy, labour and postnatal aspects and then presentsexpected care from the medical and midwifery perspective, althoughthe reader will naturally have to apply any local policy for morespecific care. The conditions are divided under logical headingsand have been written by experienced professionals who havespecialist knowledge in the field they are covering. There is alsoa welcome addition of a chapter covering addictive disorders andpsychiatric disorders, both currently high on the agenda."
-Alison Edwards, Senior Midwifery Lecturer, BirminghamCity University.

-Alison Edwards, Midwifery Lecturer, Birmingham CityUniversity

"Excellent book - contemporary, well organized and informativechapters well supported by tables. An excellent resource formidwives and students."
