Fully revised and now in full-colour, the new edition of Pre-Obstetric
Emergency Training (POET) will help practitioners identify and manage a
range of time-critical obstetric emergencies, specifically in the
pre-obstetric department setting.
Providing structured examination and assessment techniques as an aid to
determine what treatment should be provided before transport, this
practical manual equips the practitioner with the knowledge necessary to
save the mother and fetus in life threatening circumstances before
admission to the hospital. New to the second edition are chapters
covering non-technical skills and communication, as well as complicated
labour and delivery.
Designed to accompany the associated Advanced Life Support Group
training course, Pre-Obstetric Emergency Training serves as an
authoritative guide for a range of pre-hospital practitioners dealing
with specialist situations.
