Praktische Geburtshilfe

From the diagnosis of pregnancy to the care of the child after birth: This standard work, now in its 22nd edition, serves as a helpful guide for prenatal examination and counseling as well as for practical work in obstetrics. The focus is on comprehensive knowledge transfer for optimal medical care of mother and child before and during pregnancy, during childbirth, in the postpartum period, and in the newborn phase. The book is an excellent reference for all those caring for pregnant women, birthing mothers, postpartum women, and newborns: gynecologists and obstetricians in practice and clinics, midwives, students, and doctors in specialized training in gynecology and obstetrics, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners. All chapters have been updated and expanded, all illustrations are in full color, and a new, clear layout has been chosen. The authors placed great importance on presenting current expert knowledge from various fields without thematic overlap and contradictions in a proven didactic format. A significant strength of the book is its practical orientation: the integration of established knowledge and new scientific findings into the recognized teaching framework, while eliminating outdated diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, is always done with a focus on practical clinical activity.
