Description

This single-source, ready reference outlines the anaesthetic management of pregnant women with pre-existing medical or surgical conditions not usually covered in other texts. It provides a thorough review of how pregnancy affects conditions, how disorders impact on the course and outcome of pregnancy, and how to best manage anaesthesia when treating this diverse patient population. A well-organized structure makes it easy for readers to look up uncommon conditions in an urgent or emergency situation.
