This is the 3rd edition of a classic text which represents a multi-disciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of high-risk pregnancy. Since most chapters are written by a 2-author team (an anesthesiologist and an obstetrician or fetologist), information is efficiently formated, practical, and complete. Coverage includes causes of the health risk, pathophysiology, obstetric treatment written by an obstetrician, and anesthetic management written by an obstetric anesthesiologist. Chapters include the latest procedures and most advanced technology. Covers the parameters used to observe fetal well-being and deal with abnormal findings, regardless of the stage of development. Topics extend through the delivery and post delivery periods.
