Description du livre
For more than two decades, anesthesiologists and obstetricians have turned to this handbook as the definitive reference for obstetric anesthesia. Authoritative yet concise, it has been designed as a practical guide to all aspects of anesthesia for childbirth and related obstetric procedures, including perinatal pharmacology, relief of labor pain, fetal monitoring, anesthesia for cesarean delivery, high risk pregnancy, and in vitro fertilization.
The sixth edition of Datta's Obstetric Anesthesia Handbook has been revised to update the content and help expedite the retrieval of the most pertinent information. It also acknowledges the unequaled contribution by the late Dr. Sanjay Datta to this popular reference and includes updated chapters on "Pain of Labor and Delivery," "High-Risk Pregnancy," and "Maternal Mortality and Morbidity." An appendix includes the most recent national guidelines for obstetric anesthesia and with numerous illustrations and tables throughout the text, as well as updates regarding new medications and techniques, this esteemed handbook is more valuable than ever before.
