Content
Technological advances are furthering the level of care that is possible in the growing field of high dependency care in obstetrics, which increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome for both mother and baby. However, knowledge in this field of critical and high–dependency care is well behind the current state of the art, which can lead to missed opportunities and unnecessarily tragic outcomes. The authors are aware of the glaring gaps in knowledge and provide concise practical guidance, with flow charts and algorithms, to guide best practice in this important field.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
