  Medical students and junior medical staff often feel ill-prepared when they start working in the delivery suite. This practical pocket-sized book is written for all medical and nursing staff involved in daily labour ward management, emphasising the day-to-day assessment and procedures in the labour ward rather than obstetric complications and diseases. Contents include the diagnosis of labour, types of labour, the use of oxytocic drugs and analgesia, fetal monitoring, intravenous fluid therapy as well as the problems posed by common obstetric emergencies.
