Description CHILDBIRTH AND OBSTETRIC TECHNIQUES provides trainee obstetricians, medical students and midwives with an illustrative resource that demystifies
the process of childbirth. It describes normal childbirth and explains the range of obstetric technique options that are available to
deal with abnormalities. The unique collection of color photographs and explanatory artworks brought together in this book emphasizes
the practical aspects of obstetric techniques and relates directly to daily experience on labor wards. The management of childbirth
is illustrated by a step-by-step series of clear images and concise text that illustrate all relevant procedures.
