This single-source, ready reference outlines the anesthetic 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 anesthesia when treating this diverse patient population.
