Chestnut's Obstetric Anesthesia: Principles and Practice, 6th Edition, is a comprehensive and user-friendly resource that provides the authoritative clinical information you need to deliver optimal care to your patients. This extensively revised edition ensures you stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in basic science, anesthesia techniques, and complications, including coverage of new research that is paving the way for improved patient outcomes. An expert editorial team has meticulously curated this edition to remain a indispensable resource for obstetric anesthesiologists, obstetricians, nurse anesthetists, anesthesiology assistants, anesthesiology and obstetric residents, and students.

The book presents the most recent information on anesthesia techniques for labor and delivery, as well as medical disorders that occur during pregnancy, with a focus on the treatment of the fetus and the mother as separate patients with distinct needs. It includes new chapters on shared decision-making in obstetric anesthesia and chronic pain during and after pregnancy. Extensive revisions have been made throughout the book, including consolidated information on maternal infection and postoperative analgesia.

Key topics covered include neonatal assessment and resuscitation, pharmacology during pregnancy and lactation, the use of nitrous oxide for labor analgesia, the 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.

Incorporating the latest guidelines on congenital heart disease and the management of sepsis, as well as difficult airway guidelines specific to obstetric anesthesia practice, this edition is a valuable asset for healthcare professionals seeking to provide the highest quality care to their obstetric patients.
