The history of obstetric anesthesia -- Physiologic changes of pregnancy -- Uteroplacental blood flow -- The placenta : anatomy, physiology, and transfer of drugs -- Fetal physiology -- Antepartum fetal assessment and therapy -- Anesthesia for fetal surgery and other intrauterine procedures -- Intrapartum fetal assessment and therapy -- Neonatal assessment and resuscitation -- Fetal and neonatal neurologic injury -- Patient safety and team training -- Spinal, epidural, and caudal anesthesia : anatomy, physiology, and technique -- Local anesthetics and opioids -- Pharmacology during pregnancy and lactation -- In vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technology -- Problems of early pregnancy -- Nonobstetric surgery during pregnancy -- Obstetric management of labor and vaginal delivery -- Trial of labor and vaginal birth after cesarean delivery -- The pain of childbirth and its effect on the mother and the fetus -- Childbirth preparation and nonpharmacologic analgesia -- Systemic analgesia : parenteral and inhalational agents -- Epidural and spinal analgesia: anesthesia for labor and vaginal delivery -- Alternative regional analgesic techniques for labor and vaginal delivery -- Postpartum tubal sterilization -- Anesthesia for cesarean delivery -- Postoperative analgesia -- Aspiration : risk, prophylaxis, and treatment -- The difficult airway : risk, assessment, prophylaxis, and management -- Postpartum headache -- Neurologic complications of pregnancy and neuraxial anesthesia -- Shared decision-making and communication -- Preterm labor and delivery -- Abnormal presentation and multiple gestation -- Hypertensive disorders -- Infection -- Antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage -- Embolic disorders -- Maternal mortality -- Autoimmune disorders -- Cardiovascular disease -- Chronic pain during and after pregnancy -- Endocrine disorders -- Hematologic and coagulation disorders -- Liver disease -- Malignant hyperthermia -- Musculoskeletal disorders -- Neurologic and neuromuscular disease -- Obesity -- Psychiatric disorders -- Renal disease -- Respiratory disease -- Substance use disorders -- Trauma and critical care -- American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines for neuraxial anesthesia in obstetrics -- Practice guidelines for obstetric anesthesia: an updated report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force On Obstetric Anesthesia and the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology -- Optimal goals for anesthesia care in obstetrics -- Information technology resources for obstetric anesthesia providers.
Summary: Presents the latest information on anesthesia techniques for labor and delivery and medical disorders that occur during pregnancy, emphasizing the treatment of the fetus and the mother as separate patients with distinct needs. Contains new chapters on shared decision-making in obstetric anesthesia and chronic pain during and after pregnancy. Features extensive revisions from cover to cover, including consolidated information on maternal infection and postoperative analgesia. Covers key topics such as neonatal assessment and resuscitation, pharmacology during pregnancy and lactation, use of nitrous oxide for labor analgesia, programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) technique, epidural analgesia-associated fever, the role of gastric ultrasonography to assess the risk of aspiration, sugammadex in obstetric anesthesia, the role of video laryngoscopy and new supraglottic airway devices, spinal dysraphism, and cardiac arrest in obstetric patients. Incorporates the latest guidelines on congenital heart disease and the management of sepsis, as well as difficult airway guidelines that are specific to obstetric anesthesia practice. Offers abundant figures, tables, and boxes that illustrate the step-by-step management of a full range of clinical scenarios. -- Publisher.
