Overview
In the United States, over half of pregnant women receive some form of anesthesia for their deliveries; this translates into well over 2 million anesthetics per year. With this new handbook, anesthesiologists have easy access to step-by-step, to-the-point information on how to manage patients in specific situations. Every aspect of obstetric anesthesia practice is covered, including patient evaluation, anesthesia for labor and delivery, anesthesia for cesarean delivery, management of patients with concurrent medical problems, management of obstetric emergencies, fetal assessment, and neonatal resuscitation. Distilled, synthesized text is complemented by a generous number of tables, charts, figures and flow diagrams, all presented in accessible handbook format. Obstetric Anesthesia is an ideal introduction to the specialty as well as an essential daily guide for obstetric patient care and management.

Reviews
This is an extremely useful book that, despite its size, covers almost everything. It is clearly written and the graphs and tables are easy to follow. It is an excellent mix of detailed descriptions of common issues and general discussions of the principles of anesthetic management for uncommon conditions. It will not disappoint any physician who wishes to keep a handbook in a pocket for quick reference. -- Doody's I would highly recommend this text to any anesthesia provider who desires a portable, yet detailed, discussion of the most recent evidence-based obstetrical anesthesia techniques, theories, and practice. Whether used as a reference to solve an acute problem, or as a manageable method to reorient to the subspecialty, Obstetric Anesthesia will not disappoint. This book will make an excellent companion to anyone interested in navigating the challenging and rewarding field of obstetrical anesthesiology. -- Jason R.
