Book description
Pregnancy affects the physiology of women as their bodies adapt to the
growing life within them; but how does this affect how you manage
general, or pre-existing medical complaints?
How do you differentiate the effects of pregnancy from genuine
medical conditions? What are the effects of the 'standard' treatments
on the growing fetus? What about breastfeeding?
In this brand-new edition of de Swiet's Medical Disorders in
Clinical Practice, expert physicians present the best evidence
and practical wisdom to guide you and your patients through their
pregnancy and illness, to a successful birth and early motherhood.
Using a combination of algorithms, years of experience and an
evidence-based approach, this book will help you to:
- Diagnose difficult to identify conditions during pregnancy
- Effectively prescribe for pregnant and lactating women
- Overcome the challenges of imaging, anesthesia and critical care
for pregnant women
de Swiet's assists you in navigating the many challenges
pregnancy presents for both the patient and physician.
