Overview
Anesthesia for obstetrics is one of the highest volume areas in anesthesiology. It is an area with a small subspecialty society (SOAP), and an area in which general anesthesiologists without subspecialty training continue to work in large numbers.

Reviews
This book is in direct competition with Chestnut's Obstetric Anesthesia:Principles and Practice, 4th edition, Chestnut et al. (Elsevier, 2009), which is already somewhat dated in its print form (although it has an online component). This book is somewhat easier to read, as well as easier to navigate online. The search and print functions are user friendly, and help make this book the better choice for trainees. This fifth edition continues the tradition of excellence established in 1979.
