Why this book matters to you

This handbook is written to help you think clearly under pressure: it blends concise physiology, quick assessment checklists, and actionable management steps for the common and scary scenarios you’ll meet on call (bleeding, sepsis, acute abdominal pain, trauma in pregnancy, emergency contraception, and more). It’s the kind of pocketable resource you’ll actually use during ward rounds, presentations, and exam prep.

What the book covers (quick tour)

The book is split into two main parts — Obstetrics and Gynaecology — with symptom- and scenario-based chapters you can flip to in an emergency. Key sections include:

• Pregnancy changes & early complications (Ch.1, p.3);
• Medical emergencies in pregnancy (Ch.2, p.21);
• Obstetric complications (Ch.3, p.63);
• Fetal concerns and surveillance (Ch.4, p.97);
• Intrapartum procedures (Ch.5, p.113);
• Post-delivery problems (Ch.6, p.155);
• Sepsis in pregnancy (Ch.7, p.179).

The gynaecology half contains focused chapters on abnormal bleeding, acute abdominal pain, intraoperative emergencies, and more.

What makes it special (why it’s worth downloading)

• Practical, evidence-informed: each chapter combines clear physiology with clinical “how-to” — ideal for quick decision making on the wards.
• Symptom & procedure driven: you’ll find rapid management pathways for things like acute abdominal pain, laparoscopy complications, and postpartum haemorrhage — the layout helps when seconds count.
• Real-world tips: chapters include perioperative safety advice, postoperative complication checklists, and pointers for when to escalate to senior help. These are the practical details supervisors expect you to know.

Handy chapter examples (so you can jump straight to what you need)

• Diagnostic laparoscopy & laparoscopy complications — Chapter 19 (starts ~p.316) — great if you need rapid guidance on indications and intra-op problems.
• Intraoperative emergencies — Chapter 12 (p.249) — concise steps to recognize and manage catastrophic events.
• Postoperative complications (pyrexia, infection) — Chapter 13 (~p.264) — useful for ward follow-up and decision making.

How to use it (quick study tips)

1. Bookmark high-yield chapters for on-call use (bleeding, sepsis, acute pain).
2. Make one-page cheat sheets from the management algorithms for presentations.
3. Cite short review boxes in assignments — they’re evidence referenced and exam-friendly.
