Respiratory Critical Illness During Pregnancy: Critical Care in Obstetrics, a volume in the Critical Care Obstetrics series, provides a novel reference for healthcare personnel caring for pregnant women with various health compromises specific to respiratory complications. The book's chapters reflect the growing scope of critical care obstetrics and the increasing importance and recognition of the hospital structure's field, covering the most common respiratory complications that any patient can present during pregnancy, including Asthma, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infection, Cystic Fibrosis, Sleep Disorders, Respiratory failure and more.

All intensivists, regardless of primary discipline, must possess a core set of critical care skills that allow them to manage critically ill patients. Here, the authors have gathered the best evidence-based material on respiratory scenarios.
