Ward Rounds in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Description

This book is a practical guide to obstetrics and gynaecology cases clinicians might encounter on an everyday basis.

Divided into 34 chapters, the text begins with discussion on history taking and examination. The next sections cover the diagnosis and management of different obstetrical disorders including fever in pregnancy, gestational diabetes and anaemia, heart and liver diseases, preterm labour, and recurrent pregnancy loss.

The following chapters present a variety of gynaecological disorders such as abnormal uterine bleeding, ovarian cancer, fibroids, infertility, and much more.

Each chapter begins with a case history and investigation methods and concludes with questions and answers. Topics are further enhanced by clinical photographs, illustrations, medication tables, flowcharts, and comprehensive references.

Key Features

• Medical education is unique in the sense that it not only involves theoretical knowledge transfer but also skill transfer. Beside clinics, grand rounds, daily ward rounds, case discussions all aim at this skill acquisition by the leaners. This book aims at providing this skill transfer exercise in the form of detailed case discussions, which are of extensive use for both undergraduate and postgraduates.
• One more uniqueness of this book is the discussion on intensive care unit (ICU) rounds, postoperative ward rounds, examination of a sexual assault victim, cardiac disease in pregnancy discussed by both cardiologist and the obstetrician, some frequently encountered issues like vulval hematoma, fever in pregnancy, role of bedside ultrasound in obstetrics, discussion on invasive fetal procedures, etc.
