A chapter is dedicated to the important and often neglected area of the antenatal identification and preparation of mothers with potential for anaesthetic problems during childbirth Postnatal review of the mothers who have received attention from the anaesthetist during labour is also comprehensively covered.

There is practical advice on caring for the sick mother suffering major haemorrhage, hypertensive and embolic diseases, and a chapter devoted to managing the collapsed and compromised parturient. The final section is a comprehensive and easily navigated A-Z of the less common conditions encountered in mothers on the delivery ward including references for further reading.
