1. Overview of Systemic Changes in the Postpartum Patient
This chapter defines the postpartum period and reviews physiological changes from pregnancy as well as what changes persist systemically and occur in the postpartum period. To treat this population effectively, it is important to understand the physiological journey postpartum patients undergo.
2. Overview of Labor and Birth
This chapter provides an overview of the stages of labor and vaginal birth as well as a review of cesarean birth. Understanding what is commonly involved in both vaginal and cesarean birth and acute postpartum recovery can help healthcare providers better care for this population.
3. Red Flags and Medical Screening
In this chapter, learn about common red-flag conditions in the postpartum period that would warrant further medical assessment and emergent care, as well as how to screen for postpartum danger signs. This is important for rehabilitation professionals as we typically have more frequent contact with patients and can catch issues early.
4. General Examination and Positional Considerations
This chapter discusses history taking and intake screening for postpartum patients. Also discussed are positional and movement considerations for examination. These are important for effective examination of the postpartum patient.
