Step by Step Anaesthesia in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

The pregnant patient presents a unique "two-in-one" situation for the anaesthesiologist - what happens to the mother has a bearing on her unborn child, and the foetus produces many physiological changes in the mother, which have important anaesthetic implications. Considerations unique to the pregnant state are dealt with, the potential problems to be faced and the various solutions to those issues. This handy pocket reference is designed to be a readily accessible and accurate source of information on obstetric anaesthesia for practising anaesthesiologists, anaesthesia residents and "interested" obstetricians.
