About this book

A seasoned inner-city family physician concisely surveys the normal obstetrics encountered in a busy medical practice to provide a practical guide to the evaluation and management of common prenatal, peripartum, and postpartum complications. For each stage, Dr. Lyons addresses the major issues and problems, spelling out in detail management protocols about why and what action is to be taken, when it is to be done, and how it is to be interpreted. The key points for each topic are summarized in tabular form for quick reference, and diagnostic flow charts illuminate all aspects of the decision-making process. Expert advice based on years of experience is also presented concerning physical and ultrasound examinations, laboratory tests, drug toxicities, and screening techniques. A special PDA version of Obstetrics in Family Medicine: A Practical Guide is also available.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"At only 221 pages, with a straightforward writing style, this book is a quick and easy read that encompasses a broad overview of obstetrics. … For these reasons, those who would find this text most useful would be medical students or residents … who could read this book in its entirety as an introduction to obstetrics. It may also be useful to practicing clinicians … who wish to brush up on or review obstetric topics." (Kirsten Stoesser, Family Medicine, July, 2007)
