Produktbeschreibung

Many institutions have adopted a maternal early warning system in order to identify women at risk of significant morbidity. Once a warning sign is identified, however, a quick response is indicated to keep the patient's condition from deteriorating. This book is a practical resource to help the medical professional address these situations.
