Surveillance fœtale pendant le travail

• 1st Edition
• June 7, 2016
• Olivier Parant + 1 more
• French

La surveillance du travail est un moment crucial pour la mère et l’enfant, situé au cœur de la pratique quotidienne des obstétriciens et des sages-femmes. Sa prise en charge, toujours particulière et souvent stressante, ne fait cependant pas toujours l'objet d'un consensus général en relevant alors de pratiques individuelles, parfois sources de iatrogénie avec risque d’augmentation de naissances opératoires. Cet ouvrage résolument pratique, rédigé par les meilleurs spécialistes, vous guide dans votre diagnostic, vous offre toutes les clés nécessaires à la définition d'une stratégie lors de la surveillance du travail, et vous aide dans vos prises de décision thérapeutique. Les premiers chapitres détaillent la chronologie des événements : admission en salle de naissance, surveillance des contractions, du rythme cardiaque fœtal, du partogramme, place de l’échographie, surveillance par STAN, etc. Les cas plus spécifiques, tels la présentation par le siège, les grossesses multiples, l’obésité et l’utérus cicatriciel, font l'objet de chapitres dédiés. Enfin, les auteurs abordent deux points plus spécifiques : les répercussions sur le fœtus et le RCF des thérapeutiques prescrites pendant le travail, et l’interprétation des mesures de pH et de lactates à la naissance.

Cardiovascular Disease, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

• 1st Edition
• Volume 43-1
• February 19, 2016
• Nikhil K. Chanani + 1 more
• English

The impact of cardiovascular disease on an infant extends from the fetal period to well beyond childhood. Perinatalogists and neonatologists can impact maternal and fetal health through wide range of diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. For our edition focused on cardiovascular health, we sought to encompass the breadth of knowledge that would be the most relevant for the bed side clinician. Our goal was to assemble contents that would allow a clinician to quickly peruse the journal, and then be prepared to make a medical decision. The interaction between cardiology and perinatology/neonatology includes genetics, diagnostics, interventions, counseling, routine stabilization and day to day care. Ultimately, the goal is to establish the foundation for a healthy adult. For this reason, we have even included chapters on topics that are significant on a day to day basis (such as the proper environment for a newborn) and a long term basis (like the overall neurodevelopmental impact of our interventions). Hopefully, whether in the middle of the night as an emergency reference or during the day as a reliable guide, this edition of Clinics in perinatology will be an important bedside tool for anyone that participates in the care of a patient with perinatal heart disease.
