Reviews

From the reviews: I found the topics covered in the text highly relevant to clinical practice. ! Overall, I found the text readable ! . The figures and legends were largely useful ! . Those who would benefit from reading the book would include critical care attendings and fellows as well as maternal fetal medicine attendings and fellows. Also, generalist obstetricians interested in high-risk obstetrics would benefit as well. The book provides the most comprehensive review of respiratory disorders in pregnancy in one text that I have encountered. (Robin L. Perry, Critical Care Medicine, Vol. 38 (2), February, 2010) This book focuses on pulmonary conditions that potentially can complicate a pregnancy. ! This book could be a nice resource for those in training and those looking for a starting point when researching a specific pulmonary condition in pregnancy. Internists and family practice doctors also could find this a ! valuable resource. ! The strength of this book is in its broad and comprehensive array of topics. (Gilad A. Gross, Doody's Review Service, January, 2010) The book is a compilation of well-written and all-embracing chapters of complex respiratory problems. The spectrum of multidisciplinary involvement is particularly laudable and impressive. ! Pulmonary Problems in Pregnancy will appeal and provide a valuable resource to a large audience of health-care professionals, including obsterricians, anaesthetists, obstetric physicians, GPs and midwives who are increasingly looking after women with respiratory conditions. ! Overall this is a highly informative and well-mounted text that I would thoroughly recommend. (Feroza Dawood, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 70 (11), November, 2009)
