'This is an excellent resource for helping to identify the critically ill pregnant woman. It includes concise instructions for further evaluation and management of specific problems such as sepsis, cardiorespiratory disorders, neurological problems, and other emergencies. Numerous illustrations and algorithms demonstrate the flow of critical care.' F. Gary Cunningham, Doody's Book Review Service

PROMPT (PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) provides local multi-professional training resources for the management of a range of obstetric emergency situations. Over recent years there has been increasing evidence that PROMPT training has had a significant impact on outcomes for mothers and babies in the UK and internationally. The PROMPT CiPP (Care of the Critically ill Pregnant or Postpartum woman) Course is a constituent part of the third edition PROMPT 'Course in a Box', and provides training resources to support an additional, locally-run, multi-professional training programme for maternity staff involved in maternal critical care. The PROMPT CiPP Course Participant's Handbook is essential for all those attending a local PROMPT CiPP Course, and is also a valuable stand-alone textbook, for evidence-based, current information on maternal critical care.
