OBSTETRIC ANESTHESIA: QUICK REFERENCES & PRACTICAL GUIDES

This succinct, evidence-based guide provides everything you need to provide safe, effective care to pregnant women in subacute and emergent situations

A quick-reference guide designed for on-the-spot clinical guidance, Obstetric Anesthesia: Quick References & Practical Guides fills a gap in the current literature by distilling the information of a comprehensive textbook into a quick review and providing standard instructions that can be integrated into everyday practice.

Chapters include a brief review of the topic, including scientific knowledge and references; clinical pearls based on the BIDMC Department of Anesthesia’s long history of providing cutting edge care for pregnant women; bullet points and tables highlighting key information; references for the latest scientific information and primary literature, and guides, protocols, or standard operating procedures for immediate application.

Primarily an on-hand emergency manual, Obstetric Anesthesia: Quick References & Practical Guides also serves as a clinical reference guide and teaching tool during team meetings and residency/fellowship didactics.
