From the reviews of the third edition: "This book vividly illustrates the need for partnership between obstetricians and anaesthetists in delivering care to high-risk women in labour. It is a good attempt at encouraging a multidisciplinary approach on the labour ward and serves as an informative source for both obstetricians and anaesthetists. It is a well-written book in its third edition. ... I would recommend this book as part of a library collection and I think it would be a useful textbook for obstetric anaesthetists, maternal and fetal medicine specialists ... ."
