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.

Little is known about the neurologic complications of the 2009 Influenza-A H1N1 epidemic in children. We present a retrospective analysis of children evaluated at a tertiary children's hospital who tested positive for H1N1 with neurologic complications. A total of 164 children tested positive for H1N1. Thirty-one of these patients (19%) were evaluated and discharged from the emergency department. Thirty-nine (24%) were treated in the intensive care unit, the remaining 94 (57%) were treated in medical in-patient units. Six subjects died (3.7%). Neurologic complications identified included headache, encephalitis, polyneuropathy, seizures, and malignant hyperthermia. The rate of neurologic complications in this cohort of patients who tested positive for H1N1 was 19%. The incidence of serious neurologic complications was 3%, with another 3% of patients who experienced rapid clinical deterioration and subsequently died. Our observation of neurologic complications associated with 2009 influenza-A H1N1 epidemic suggests the need for clinical vigilance during future influenza epidemics.
