Sinossi

OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA HANDBOOK
A Practical Guide to Labor Analgesia, Cesarean Anesthesia and High-Risk Pregnancy

Providing anesthesia care during pregnancy and childbirth requires a strong understanding of maternal physiology, anesthetic techniques, emergency management, and the unique challenges of high-risk pregnancy. Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook offers a practical and structured reference covering essential principles of anesthesia and analgesia throughout the peripartum period.

The book explores labor analgesia, neuraxial anesthesia, cesarean anesthesia, general anesthesia, airway management, and postpartum pain management, while also addressing complex conditions that can significantly affect anesthetic planning and patient care.

Key topics include:

  • Maternal physiologic changes and foundations of obstetric anesthesia
  • Labor analgesia and neuraxial techniques
  • Spinal, epidural, and combined neuraxial approaches
  • Anesthesia for cesarean delivery
  • General anesthesia and obstetric airway management
  • Preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome
  • Obstetric hemorrhage and major emergencies
  • Amniotic fluid embolism
  • Maternal cardiac disease, obesity, diabetes, and other comorbidities
  • Coagulation disorders and anticoagulation considerations
  • Non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy
  • Fetal assessment and neonatal resuscitation considerations
  • Maternal cardiac arrest and emergency response
  • Clinical simulation, quality improvement, and patient safety

Organized into five parts and 21 chapters, this handbook progresses from foundational concepts to specialized and high-risk clinical situations. It is designed as a useful study and reference resource for medical students, nursing students, physician assistant students, anesthesia trainees, and primary care practitioners seeking a clearer understanding of obstetric anesthesia and perioperative care.

Whether used for academic study, clinical review, or reference during training, this book provides a focused overview of the principles, techniques, complications, and critical considerations involved in caring for pregnant patients requiring anesthesia and analgesia.
