High Risk Registry

UK Registry of High-risk Obstetric Anaesthesia

This project ran from 1996 to 2003 and collected data on pregnant women with pre-existing diseases who required anaesthetic input. The first and most successful topic was cardiorespiratory disease. The Committee wishes to thank all those anaesthetists who contributed data to the Registry.
