Home » Books   The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia - 3rd edition by Penny Simkin and Ruth Ancheta This NEW 3rd EDITION builds on the success of first two editions and remains an unparalleled resource on simple, non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor. Features new to this edition include two new chapters on third and fourth stage labor management and low-technology interventions, a complete analysis of directed versus spontaneous pushing, and additional information on massage techniques. Retaining the hallmark features of previous editions, the book is replete with illustrations showing position, movements, and techniques and logically organized to facilitate ease of use. This book is jam-packed with useful information that can be used by nurses, midwives, childbirth educators, and labor assistants/doulas. Labor dystocia, dysfunctional labor, failure to progress -all these terms refer to slow or no progress in labor, is one of the most vexing, complex and unpredictable complications of labor. Dystocia or failure to progress in labor is the main reason for cesarean deliveries. The third edition of this successful text focuses on simple non-invasive interventions to prevent or treat difficult labor. It describes positions, movements and techniques based on principles of anatomy, physiology and psychology of childbirth. 2011   Email Friend Price: $39.99   « Previous | Next »
