The importance of cooperation and understanding between the obstetrician and anesthesiologist in the management of obstetric emergencies cannot be overemphasized. Indications for cesarean section and choice of anesthetic are significant considerations. Algorithms for the management of special treatment problems such as malignant hyperthermia, postdural headache, and epidural abscess and hematoma are presented. Posting of protocols for the management of particular crises in both delivery and postanesthesia care units is strongly recommended.
