- Synopsis
- McConachie (anesthesia and perioperative medicine, U. of Western Ontario, Canada) assembles 21 articles by obstetrics practitioners caring for high-risk patients at the University of Western Ontario and in the UK who outline debates in obstetric anesthesia and analgesia used in the perioperative and perinatal periods, for trainees and practitioners in anesthesia, obstetrics, and critical care medicine, as well as nurses and midwives. They address substance abuse and cardiac disease in pregnancy; management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, hemorrhage, and postdural puncture headache; anesthetic drugs and the developing fetal brain; ultrasound-guided epidural anesthesia, combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, and other types; coagulation and regional anesthesia; ambulatory and patient-controlled epidural analgesia; hypotension following spinal anesthesia; outcomes; cesarean section airway management, oxygen supplementation, oxytocin use and dosage, and analgesia; and other topics. Basic knowledge and experience in obstetric physiology, pharmacology, and anesthesia is assumed. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
