Crises in Childbirth - Why Mothers Survive - lessons from the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths

For more than 50 years the Confidential Enquiries have collected together invaluable information about why mothers die in pregnancy and childbirth. This unique book collects together all the valuable lessons into one volume. Experts in their fields provide a physiological, pharmacological, and evidence based commentary on the events of each death. The overall result pays homage to the value of collecting together lessons from the past, and we hope will help people avoid repetition of these situations in the future.
