The Hospital Navigator: Handbook of Consult and Inpatient Gynecology
When a general surgeon pages the gynecology service to the operating room because they unexpectedly found a massive pelvic mass during an appendectomy, the consultant must arrive instantly prepared to take over the surgical field. Handbook of Consult and Inpatient Gynecology is the fiercely pragmatic, brutally efficient clinical weapon designed specifically for the hospital-based consultant. This volume provides the absolute, rapid-response blueprints required to manage acute gynecologic emergencies occurring in the ER, the ICU, or the general wards.
Mastering the Acute Consult
The core philosophy of this text is rapid algorithmic triage. The authors aggressively detail the mechanics of the inpatient evaluation. It dictates exactly how a gynecologist must evaluate a post-operative orthopedic patient who suddenly develops massive, uncontrollable vaginal bleeding, detailing the exact algorithms for differentiating between a disrupted uterine vessel, a coagulation failure, or an acute fibroid degeneration.
Navigating the Postoperative Crisis
The book provides a masterclass in surgical salvage. It dictates the exact clinical pathways for fixing a complication. It rigorously explores the terrifying reality of a patient developing an acute abdomen three days after a hysterectomy, detailing the exact protocols for using a CT scan with contrast to mathematically confirm a severed ureter or a leaking bowel anastomosis, legally mandating an immediate return to the operating room.
