Maternal-fetal medicine has evolved over the last three decades to become a well-established discipline. The current understanding of maternal physiology and pathophysiology has allowed us to obtain more accurate diagnoses and to provide more effective treatments of medical, surgical, and obstetrical maternal complications. More importantly, the fetus has become a distinct individual whose in utero environment has become much more accessible to study, diagnose, and treatment.
Clinical Maternal-Fetal Medicine addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common medical and obstetrical maternal complications and fetal complications. It provides a concise and timely review of clinically relevant topics in this discipline. The textbook is a comprehensive reference covering the wide range of disciplines that make up maternal-fetal medicine.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
This is a major medical textbook in 74 chapters on maternal-fetal medicine. Its main sections cover obstetric complications, obstetric emergencies, perinatal infection, maternal medical disorders, maternal surgical disorders, the fetal disorders, drug abuse, and special issues ranging from pregnancy in the mature gravida to amnioinfusion. The contributing authors are all at the top of their profession, specifically selected to ensure the absolute authority of this, the definitive textbook on maternal-fetal medicine.
