Summary
Focuses on common or complex pulmonary issues occurring in pregnancy. This work provides practical insights into improving the respiratory care of the pregnant patient. It illustrates the consequences of chronic hypoxia on maternal and fetal outcomes, to help extrapolate to the effects of chronic pulmonary conditions
