Obstetric ultrasound is a rapidly developing field which involves a variety of professional groups. Its multidisciplinary nature results in difficulties for practitioners in keeping up-to-date with the latest advances: the information they need has up to now been scattered in radiological, obstetric, and scientific sources. This volume is the first in an annual series which will assess areas of clinical importance and review recent developments. Practitioners are now obliged to understand much more than simply the mechanics of producing ultrasound images. The series therefore includes contributions from a range of relevant fields, including obstetrics, radiology and sonography, medical physics, genetics, and pathology. Relevant to all professionals involved in obstetric ultrasound, this series will provide a current assessment of an increasingly complex subject.

One of the most dramatic changes to women's lives in the twentieth century was the advent of safe childbirth, reducing the maternal mortality rate from 1 in 400 births to 1 in 10,000 in just 80 years. The impetus behind this change was the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death (CEMD), now the world's longest running self-audit of a healthcare service. Here, leading authors in the CEMD tell the story of the pioneering clinicians behind the push for improvements, who received little recognition for their work despite its far-reaching consequences. One by one, the leading causes of maternal death were identified and resolved, from sepsis to safe abortions and more recently psychiatric illness and social and ethnic disparities in healthcare. Global maternal mortality is still too high; this valuable book shows how significant advances in maternal healthcare are possible when clinicians, politicians and the public work together.
