Beskrivning

Respiratory diseases affect a large proportion of the population and can cause complications when associated with pregnancy. Pregnancy induces profound anatomical and functional physiological changes in the mother, and subjects the mother to pregnancy-specific respiratory conditions. Reviewing respiratory conditions both specific and non-specific to pregnancy, the book also addresses related issues such as smoking and mechanical ventilation. Basic concepts for the obstetrician are covered, including patient history, physiology and initial examinations. Topics such as physiological changes during pregnancy and placental gas exchange are discussed for the non-obstetrician. Guidance is practical, covering antenatal and post-partum care, as well as management in the delivery suite. An essential guide to respiratory diseases in pregnancy, this book is indispensable to both obstetricians and non-obstetric physicians managing pregnant patients.

Recensioner i media

'Overall, the book is quite timely given the current COVID-19 pandemic … The book is well written and easy to read. It provides excellent foundational knowledge … For the obstetrician, it is a great resource to facilitate more educated exchanges with consultants. For non-obstetricians consulted on obstetric patients, it provides a nice review of how pregnant women are different from non-pregnant adults. There are not many books dedicated to just the respiratory system, which makes it more valuable to healthcare providers looking for this specific type of information.' Vanessa Laibl Rogers, Doody's Book Review Service
