"This book contains a collection of the most recent insights regarding maternal morbidity and mortality and optimization of the care processes during acute critical illness.
The volume represents a practical resource to be used in real-time by medical practitioners faced with a woman who is critically ill during pregnancy and the peripartum period. By providing concise tools for disease identifiers and management flow-charts, the Editors aimed to increase awareness and improve processes of care for this population. Many care paradigms for obstetric patients are currently unstandardized, unfocused and often do not follow a pre-determined path.
Each chapter will provide the practitioner with updated information on how to identify specific critical conditions and how to manage them once they have been identified, to enhance recognition and readiness. This book should be used as a resource to improve the quality of care administered to obstetric patients, to reduce fragmented careprocesses and to improve interdisciplinary co-ordination and communication, with the overall aim of decreasing maternal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this book represents an invaluable guide to specialists in critical care, anesthesia and obstetrics as well as to intensive care nurses and midwives."

Prof. Ruth Landau received her medical degree from the University of Geneva and completed her anesthesia training at the University Hospital in Geneva in Switzerland.

As an obstetric anesthesiologist, Prof. Landau’s research evolved around threethemes: (1) the influence of genetics on pregnancy-related diseases and childbirth (e.g. preterm labor and delivery, endothelial dysfunction and preeclampsia); (2) identifying predictors of post-operative and postpartum pain and pain modulation; and, (3) precision-based pain management for labor and delivery. Currently, Prof. Landau has expanded her research to patients ranging in age from the newborn to the elderly, using genomics and epigenetics in an attempt to better define important clinical phenotypes in the perioperative period.
