  • We explored the use of on-site simulation of a patient with eclampsia to provide controlled experience in an obstetric unit. (bmj.com)
  • We hope our findings will encourage anaesthetists to recognise these risks and choose anaesthetic techniques with a lower risk, such as a regional anaesthesia, where possible, and also prepare for airway difficulties when anaesthetising obese patients. (sciencedaily.com)
