Uppermost blood levels of the right and left atria in the supine position: implication for measuring central venous pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Obstetrics carries high medical liability risk. Maternal death and newborn death/brain damage were the most common complications in obstetric anesthesia malpractice claims before 1990. As the liability profile may have changed over the past two decades, the authors reviewed recent obstetric claims in the Ame...
