Synopsis

Obstetric anaesthesia demands far more than technical proficiency. It requires rapid clinical judgement, detailed understanding of maternal physiological changes, safe management of two closely connected patients, effective communication, and the ability to respond immediately when routine childbirth becomes a life-threatening emergency.

Comprehensive Handbook of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Peripartum Care provides an extensive, clinically focused resource for understanding the principles, procedures, complications, and multidisciplinary decision-making involved in modern obstetric anaesthetic practice.

Beginning with maternal physiological adaptation to pregnancy and the pharmacological foundations of obstetric anaesthesia, this handbook progresses through pre-anaesthetic assessment, labour analgesia, neuraxial techniques, spinal and epidural anaesthesia, combined spinal–epidural approaches, general anaesthesia, airway management, and anaesthesia for caesarean delivery.

Complex clinical situations are examined in detail, including difficult neuraxial procedures, failed or inadequate blocks, maternal obesity, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, neurological disorders, haematological abnormalities, anticoagulation, pre-eclampsia, multiple pregnancy, placental abnormalities, and other high-risk obstetric conditions.

Particular attention is given to the maternal emergencies that demand immediate coordinated action. Readers are guided through the anaesthetic and critical-care principles involved in postpartum haemorrhage, major obstetric bleeding, maternal sepsis, amniotic fluid embolism, venous thromboembolism, local anaesthetic systemic toxicity, high neuraxial block, difficult and failed airway management, cardiac arrest during pregnancy, massive transfusion, shock, and multiorgan dysfunction. The book also examines postoperative and post-delivery care, pain management, haemodynamic monitoring, maternal critical care, neurological complications, recovery after caesarean delivery, and safe escalation of care.

Beyond individual procedures, the handbook explores contemporary peripartum practice through multidisciplinary teamwork, patient safety, informed consent, communication, clinical governance, enhanced recovery, simulation-based training, and evidence-informed decision-making. Practical explanations connect physiology and pharmacology directly with clinical management so that readers understand not only what to do, but also why specific anaesthetic strategies are selected.

Written for medical students, anaesthesia residents, specialist trainees, practising anaesthesiologists, obstetricians, critical-care clinicians, midwives, perioperative nurses, and other professionals involved in maternity care, this handbook bridges foundational science with advanced clinical application.

Whether used for structured study, specialist training, clinical revision, perioperative preparation, or day-to-day reference, Comprehensive Handbook of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Peripartum Care offers a detailed and practical approach to safer maternal anaesthesia and modern multidisciplinary peripartum care.
