Pharmacology, Physiology, and Practice of Obstetric Anesthesia provides all the essentials of obstetric anesthesia in a straightforward, user-friendly format that avoids encyclopedic language and lengthy discussions, and is inclusive of other healthcare specialties and sub-specialties including obstetrics, neonatal care, and more. Coverage spans the essentials of obstetric as well as overlooked issues including obstetric pharmacology and physiology safe practice strategies, clinical concepts for vaginal delivery and c-section, high-risk pregnancy states and management of the complicated parturient, complications and medicolegal, fetus and newborn considerations, and guidelines, standards and statements related to obstetric anesthesia.
Pharmacology, Physiology, and Practice of Obstetric Anesthesia is the perfect reference for an interdisciplinary group of health professionals, policymakers, and researchers working and training in the field of obstetric anesthesiology.
