Dedication

To the memory of Dr. Geraldine OSullivan

A P RACTICAL A PPROACH TO O BSTETRIC A NESTHESIA , 2 ND E DITION

There is certainly no shortage of obstetric anesthesia texts currently available, from introductory handbooks to encyclopedic treatises. What has been lacking is a book that straddles the middle ground between those extremes, a book that would serve to supply both experienced and novice clinicians with guidance for managing routine and complicated parturients, as well as providing an explanation of the physiologic and pharmacologic principles underlying clinical care. We think that A Practical Approach to Obstetric Anesthesia has achieved this goal by assembling and reviewing the most up-to-date information relevant to the practice of obstetric anesthesiology.

The book is a portable user-friendly reference that gives easy-to-follow guidance in an outline format. The table of contents is divided into six sections: Pharmacology and Physiology, Antepartum Considerations, Labor and Delivery, Postpartum Issues, Disease States, and Guidelines from National Organizations. The book contains 33 chapters that have been organized within a particular section. Key points are noted at the beginning of each chapter. Clinical Pearls are embedded within the text. Each chapter also contains a list of current and relevant references. The use of color in this edition highlights important sections to improve readability.

This book would not have been possible without the commitment and hard work of more than 40 contributors as well as the production staff at Wolters Kluwer.

I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of Sol Shnider, who started me on my career in obstetric anesthesia; to my parents, Roy and Mary Lee, whose resources and encouragement helped make my career in medicine a reality; to my children, Charles and Katherine, who have honored me by pursuing careers as physicians; and to my wife Mary, whose love and support I receive daily.

Curtis L. Baysinger

I would like to dedicate this book to my husband, Uli, my parents, and all of the learners who study obstetric anesthesiology.

Brenda A. Bucklin

I would like to acknowledge two important mentors, Professor Graham McMorland and Professor Joanne Douglas, who facilitated my understanding of obstetric anesthesia. I dedicate this book to the memory of my father Gordon and to acknowledge the love and support of my wife Kimberley; my children Carwyn, Jake, and Samantha; and my mother Sadie.
