Riassunto

Over the past few decades general anaesthesiologists have taken the place of obstetricians in performing anaesthesia during childbirth. This handbook is a clinically useful guide covering all aspects of obstetric anaesthesia for anaesthesiologists faced with this responsibility. Introductory chapters discuss physiology changes during pregnancy and pharmacology as well as foetal assessment and foetal effects of obstetric anaesthesia. Managements of uncomplicated vaginal and caesarian deliveries, patients with specific medical problems that complicate childbirth and management of the high-risk patient are all also discussed in detail. Finally, chapters on postpartum surgery, special procedures and newborn care are also included. Critical points, complications, pitfalls, and controversies are graphically highlighted in the text.

From the reviews of the fourth edition: "Fundamental principles, and most of the new considerations in obstetrical anesthesia are considered in this handbook, and every chapter provides a comprehensive bibliography.

From the Back Cover:

For nearly two decades, anesthesiologists and obstetricians have turned to this handbook as the definitive reference for obstetric anesthesia. Authoritative yet concise, it has been designed as a practical guide to all aspects of anesthesia for childbirth and related obstetric procedures, including perinatal pharmacology, relief of labor pain, fetal monitoring, anesthesia for cesarean delivery, high risk pregnancy, and in vitro fertilization.

The fifth edition of Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook has been reorganized and revised to both update the content and help expedite the retrieval of the most pertinent information. New chapters include "Pain of Labor and Delivery" and "Effects of Epidural Analgesia on Labor and the Infant." An appendix has been added that includes the most recent national guidelines for obstetric anesthesia. With numerous illustrations and tables, as well as updates regarding new medications and techniques, this esteemed handbook is more valuable than ever.
