Ostetricia

Anaesthesia services in developing countries are often limited due to a shortage of basic facilities, equipment and drugs, as well as a lack of personnel and proper training. Anaesthesia services for obstetric procedures pose a particular problem in developing countries, where high rates of anaesthesia-related complications and fetal/maternal mortality are seen in connection with otherwise common procedures such as caesarean section. This concise and practical pocketbook covers the basic principles of obstetric anaesthesia with a special emphasis on the unique challenges of service delivery in the developing world. The book will be useful for a range of practitioners in developing countries including anaesthetists, trainees, nurse anaesthetists, and district hospital doctors.

Un nuovo libro sulla cardiotocografia si pone l'obiettivo di raggiungere una maggiore chiarezza sulla modalità di approccio alla valutazione del benessere fetale, soprattutto in travaglio.

Una corretta valutazione della cardiotocografia può contribuire anche a superare il problema italiano dell'aumento esponenziale dei tagli cesarei e conseguentemente a ridurre il numero di quelli effettuati per una non corretta valutazione del tracciato.
