Today’s Emergency Services Show, held at the Birmingham NEC, saw Class Professional and AACE launch the long anticipated Emergency Birth in the Community book.
Emergency Birth in the Community is the essential resource for ambulance clinicians, midwives, GPs and all healthcare professionals who come into contact with emergency birth.
The book has been specifically adapted from the official JRCALC Guidelines, the established standard for pre-hospital care. For this unique publication, many topics have been expanded upon, including Maternal Resuscitation, Umbilical Cord Prolapse, Shoulder Dystocia and Post-partum Haemorrhage.
Pocket cards with key algorithms are included, covering a multitude of birth presentations and maternity related conditions.
The book also features summary cards for both mother and baby.
On the release of the book, Edward Morris MD FRCOG, Vice President, Clinical Quality, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, commented:
Within this book is an exceptional level of detail of how the physiology of a woman’s body changes during pregnancy.By having a clear understanding of these differences and applying this knowledge when managing women at all stages of pregnancy, attending responders are highly likely to help save lives in the community.This isn’t only a book, it is a practical, efficient tool to help you deliver safe maternity care.
