About this book

This concise, easy to follow review of obstetric anesthesia follows the outline set forth by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), making it an invaluable resource for in-service exam and board exams. The book is divided into four sections, beginning with maternal physiology, followed by maternal-fetal considerations, then pathophysiology of complicated pregnancy, and finally problems of term and delivery. Written at the fellow-level, it provides anesthesiology residents, obstetric anesthesiology fellows, and any anesthesiologist providing care to obstetric patients testable information for the boards, as well as practical tips for clinical practice. 

 


Reviews

“This book is a great resource for residents in their obstetric anesthesia rotations and for obstetric anesthesia fellows, as well as for anesthesiologists providing care to obstetrics patients and looking for quick and reliable information. … We recommend this book to obstetric anesthesia residents and fellows, and for studying for board examinations, as well as to anesthesiologists caring for obstetric patients and teaching learners who are looking for a quick resource of useful and succinct material.” (Valerie Zaphiratos, Christian Loubert and Philippe Richebé, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (1), January, 2020)
