Main description:

Many obstetricians do not have adequate skills to control hemorrhaging, transferring critically-ill mothers are suboptimal and infrastructural deficiencies have a profound impact on the outcome for the mother and the fetus. The chapters cover the technical, nontechnical and organizational skills and requirements needed to 'eliminate' morbidity and mortality related to obstetric hemorrhage. The authors are well-renowned for expertise in the area in which they have contributed the chapter. This book will help consultants, postgraduates and obstetric intensivists in updating their knowledge and skills.

This book is a firm step forward to establish protocols and guidelines for developing countries.
Contributors have been chosen carefully based on their work profile and experience.
The chapters are crafted to elaborate on cost-effective newer technologies for management of obstetric hemorrahge.
The book enhances skill and builds capacity for our fraternity in tackling matters of critical care in such patients.
