Description
Cardiac arrest in pregnancy is uncommon, but survival from such an event is exceptional. In the event of a maternal arrest a speedy, co-ordinated response is essential. Healthcare professionals should know what action to take in the situation in order to promote positive outcomes for both the mother and the foetus. This is a guide to resuscitation in pregnancy. It is hoped that the style of the book together with the logical and systematic layout will make the information accessible and easy to simulate.
