title: Ambulance transport of obstetric emergencies.
abstract: Ninety-eight patient records from obstetric flying squad calls were reviewed. The reasons for call-out and the effect of transport on maternal and foetal cardiovascular parameters were analysed. The main reason for calling the flying squad is now antepartum haemorrhage. Transporting the patient to hospital has little effect on the cardiovascular state.
