The woman in labour is the focus of every dedicated obstetrician. Being able to provide optimum care for the mother and the unborn child is the goal for which they all strive. The third edition of The Management of Labour arms the practising obstetrician with clear, evidencebased guidelines to provide such care. Popular in its earlier editions, both among postgraduates and practitioners, this edition has been updated with current and relevant information. Guidelines from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as well as evidence-based reviews, such as the Cochrane Database, have been used to update this edition.
