Overview

This comprehensive, hands-on, practical guide is essential for all health professionals working in early pregnancy. Highly illustrated with ultrasound images and annotated diagrams of normal and abnormal pregnancies, it demonstrates how ultrasound can be used to identify and manage complications in early pregnancy. Completely updated with new chapters on terminology and classification in early pregnancy and the use of ultrasound in the management of early pregnancy complications, this new edition uses new classification and terminology throughout the book as defined by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. As well as multiple ultrasound images, the text includes schematic diagrams, tables, flow charts and lists of key learning points, making it an easily accessible learning tool. A key resource for obstetricians, gynaecologists, sonographers, nurses and midwives, it also supports those undertaking the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' Special Interest Training Module in complex early pregnancy and non-elective gynaecology.
