The Managing Obstetric Emergencies and Trauma (MOET) course teaches the practical skills and procedures needed to save the mother and fetus in life-threatening circumstances. The course includes lectures, skills stations and workshops covering: resuscitation of the mother and newborn, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, amniotic fluid embolism, pulmonary embolism and airway management; trauma, including shock, spine and spinal cord injuries and musculoskeletal trauma; obstetric emergencies, including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, shoulder dystocia, umbilical cord prolapse and anaesthetic emergencies; and triage and transfer. The Manual provides readers with a structured preparation and revision system for the course. It provides essential anatomical, physiological and pathological information which the authors use to explain basic logical principles of resuscitation and treatment. Based on sound principles, this comprehensive handbook is easy to read and provides useful practical advice and management plans, and will be of use to all those working in obstetrics as well as to course delegates
