Clinics in Obstetrics is an up-to-date comprehensive review in Obstetrics, based on the current progress in science and technology.
Clinics in Obstetrics covers comprehensively the subject of Obstetrics in ten (10) sections. Each section has got a good number of chapters. Thus, an attempt has been made to cover the entire subject of Obstetrics. The total chapters presented are seventy-six (76). In sum, Clinics in Obstetrics is a comprehensive review of the most subspecialties in Obstetrics. All chapters are designed primarily for the different competitive examinations existing in India (University and Board examinations), as well as the International (RCOG and American Board) examinations.
Presently, Single Best Answer (SBA) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), Data interpretation, Short Answer Questions (SAQ), Critical analysis, Case reviews, and Extended Matching Questions (EMQ) are being practiced. This book has covered all such areas in depth.
The topics covered are selective. Starting from OSCE, General Obstetrics, Maternal Medicine (covering 20 important medical problems), Obstetric Discussions—covering another twenty such important clinical scenarios (including placenta accreta spectrum), Intrapartum Fetal Monitoring (including Fetal ECG), Perinatal Medicine (covers prenatal testing, infections), Operative Obstetrics (covers the different updates in obstetrics operations), Obstetrics Sepsis (updated guidelines on the use of antibiotics, critical care management). Section 8: current concept on labor care (Labor Care Guide—WHO), Section 9: the areas of practice for SBAs and EMQs. Section 10 is very uncommon and has not been seen in any other book. It covers history in obstetrics and strong emphasis on evidence-based medicine has been given.
It is of immense value for the residents before the examination not only for the updated information but also to improve the quality of performance.
