Birth Emergency Skills Training: Manual for Out-of-hospital Midwives (Second Edition)

Since its release in 2008, Birth Emergency Skills Training® for Out-Of-Hospital Midwives (BEST) has prepared thousands of midwives to manage obstetrical emergencies with greater confidence and proficiency. Like the first edition, the second edition of BEST provides cutting-edge information and innovative strategies for recognizing and managing complications. Building on core competencies, it promotes evidence-based management of antepartum bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, undiagnosed twins, trauma, neonatal resuscitation, malpresentations, and more. The second edition is more comprehensive than the first, with a broader range of topics, greater clinical relevance, new mnemonics and graphics, and additional photographs and illustrations. BEST is also a midwifery simulation and skills workshop (BEST Live) and will soon be an online CEU program (BEST Anywhere).
