It covers, for example, aspiration of gastric contents, massive blood loss, intravascular coagulation, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, and complications of epidural anaesthesia. This collection of clincal reviews represents a useful summary of the subject of obstetric anaesthesia should be of interest reading for obstetricians, neonatal paediatricians, and anaesthetists.
