Munro Kerr’s Operative Obstetrics

Outlines comprehensive guidance on modern obstetric practices and complex fetal and maternal health issues. It details the complex physiology of uterine contraction and normal parturition, alongside mechanisms of abnormal labour, focusing heavily on the critical topic of preterm birth risk factors and management using therapies like prenatal steroids. Multiple chapters provide technical descriptions of surgical procedures such as cervical cerclage, methods for assisted vaginal delivery, and specialized techniques for managing fetal malpresentation and shoulder dystocia. Crucial guidance is offered on managing acute emergencies, including the classification and treatment of severe bleeding events like antepartum haemorrhage and postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), the latter often requiring surgical interventions such as uterine compression sutures or pelvic vessel ligation. Furthermore, the text addresses rising caesarean section rates by advocating for standardized quality measurement, such as the Ten Group Classification System (TGCS), and emphasizing the necessity of ongoing multidisciplinary skills training.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/medicine_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
