Providing obstetric anaesthesia in the delivery suite and maternity theatre presents a challenge to every practising anaesthetist. Not only are there two patients to consider, often with opposing needs, but the physiology and anatomy of the pregnant woman varies significantly from her non-pregnant counterpart. Furthermore, many procedures are done as emergencies with additional risk factors. And in recent years, the complexity of care of the pregnant population has been increased by factors such as rising maternal age and co-morbidities which in the past may have precluded
pregnancy. There is therefore a need for a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook covering all aspects of care for parturients including recent approaches to neuraxial anaesthesia, new technologies, drugs, protocols, and guidelines.
This textbook brings together international contributors who are experts in their fields and who have provided in-depth, evidence-based chapters on obstetric anaesthesia with practical information and guidance that we hope will be of value for those working in the maternity environment wherever they happen to practise.
