A Practical Approach to Obstetric Anesthesia 2E

By Brenda A. Bucklin, MD ; Curtis L. Baysinger, MD ; David Gambling, MD , Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women, San Diego, CA

DESCRIPTION

A Practical Approach to Obstetric Anesthesia , written in outline format for easy reference, occupies a niche in the market midway between shorter, less detailed handbooks and Full scale textbooks. The book covers all areas of obstetric anesthesia in considerable detail but content is presented in bite-size, data-driven nuggets, rather than longer-winded prose explanations. The focus of the second edition will re- main very clinical but the clinical coverage will be broad-based and meant to appeal to all segments of the market--residents, clinicians, nurse-anesthetists, and even fellows in OB anesthesia, who can use a book like this as a quick refresher and anesthesia-cart reference.
