FM6FM7Foreword
When I got the invitation to write foreword for this book, the first thought in my mind was “to read this book” because of very attractive name of the book. This book makes a solid base for MBBS, postgraduates, interns, and nursing students.
After reading, I was so happy about it as it was more than what I expected. The book goes in a soft flow of rounds, OPD, antenatal ward, labor room and ending up in neonatal unit. In the section of obstetric emergency, I had developed a feeling that I am present at bedside and participating in revival of the patient. Tricky situations demanding blood transfusion and proper fluid management are dictated in such a simple manner which will raise confidence of reader ‘yeah, I can also do’. The most appreciable thing of this book is its limited length and simple language. It is amazing how the whole obstetrics and neonatology is covered in around 360 pages so fluently. Students generally struggle with multiple different books, just to find out few details or some special points which they can write down or mumble in their exams.
Dr Tania Singh and Dr Earl Jaspal has reduced all their struggle and tension due in their examinations, by involving all the chapters and details in very concise form in their book. Students can go through a rapid reading and revision of this book.
I must congratulate Dr Tania Singh and Dr Earl Jaspal for this rewarding hard work which will definitely help students and nursing staff who are really in need of such guidance.
It will also have a place of honor in my library.

FM8FM9Preface
Ward Rounds in Obstetrics and Neonatology extensively covers all bedside cases which are routinely met in obstetrics and neonatology, wherein main stress is laid only on diagnosis and management in wards. It does not include the time consuming etiology and pathogenesis of any disease.
The book has been presented in two sections.
Section 1: Obstetrics covers all the aspects related to OPD Rounds, Antenatal Cases in High-risk and Low-risk Patients, Labor in High-risk and Low-risk patients, Obstetric Emergencies, Infections in Obstetrics, Blood Transfusion and Fluid Management.
Section 2: Neonatology has been added to cover all current and practical approaches in management of problems encountered in neonatal care including Prematurity and Low Birth Weight, Perinatal Asphyxia, Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, Sepsis, Neonatal Seizures, Hypoglycemia, Hypocalcemia, Fluid and Electrolyte Management, Neonatal Jaundice, Bag and Mask Ventilation and routine procedures in neonatal nursery.
The book will make the ward rounds easy for students as the chapters are very small each consisting of 3–5 pages on an average. Section on OPD rounds will enable a student to counsel any patient attending obstetric OPD. A complete chapter is provided only on HIV counseling.
The basic aim of this book is to provide complete and latest information in a simplified manner with focus on quality rather than quantity.
The information provided in each chapter has been condensed in an easy-to-read format with a point-wise description and important points are highlighted in side boxes to allow quick but at the same time, proficient understanding of the material.
This book has been exclusively designed for medical students, residents, postgraduates, fellows, interns, consultants and nursing staff working in both government and private set-up.
The information provided is up-to-date and include latest protocols and clinical knowledge in fields of obstetrics and neonatology.
We hope this book will provide a better understanding of basic concepts and bedside clinical approach related to all topics in management of obstetrics and neonatology.
