Περιγραφή
As the practice of obstetric anesthesia becomes increasingly recognized as a major subspecialty of anesthesia, there is a growing interest from current practitioners to evolve their neuraxial, regional, and general anesthesia techniques and understanding of the latest evidence. Obstetric Anesthesia Practice is a timely update in the field, providing a concise, evidence-based, and richly illustrated book for students, trainees, and practicing clinicians. Comprehensive in scope, this book addresses the essential topics necessary for the practitioner to quickly assess the patient and risk stratify them, decide on the type of analgesic and anesthetic plan most appropriate as well as its feasibility and safety, provide expert consultation to the other members of the obstetric team, manage anesthesia care and complications, and arrange for advanced care if needed.
- A practical, evidence-based guide to obstetric anesthesia
- Brings together clinically relevant, practical aspects of obstetric anesthesia with the latest clinical practices, technology, and procedures
- Richly illustrated throughout
