Epidural anaesthesia in von Hippel-Lindau disease. Management of childbirth and anaesthesia for caesarean section.

abstract：:A survey of nurses and anaesthetists in a 500-bed teaching hospital set out to discover how they located a drug container in order to read its label and verify its contents. Members of each group assessed the value of seven factors thought to help in this location and answered questions on personal errors in drug admi...
