The Labour Ward Handbook, 3rd Edition, is a clinical manual designed as a practical guide for delivery suite clinicians, obstetric clinicians, and maternity team members. Authored by Leroy Edozien, former Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, UK, this volume provides detailed clinical practice guidelines for managing women during labor and immediate postpartum care.
The text details management strategies for normal and low-risk labor alongside abnormal and high-risk conditions. Core clinical topics include fetal monitoring, fetal scalp blood sampling, cord-blood sampling, and caesarean section delivery. It also incorporates clear guidance for medical conditions in labor, including pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and acute asthma exacerbations.
This updated third edition incorporates recent clinical practice developments, governance standards, and new guidelines. Designed as an accessible guide for busy clinicians, the manual provides structured reference material to support maternity teams in delivering safe, evidence-based intrapartum care.
