Now in a fully updated Fifth Edition, "Shnider and Levinson's Anesthesia for Obstetrics", continues to provide the comprehensive coverage that has made it the leading reference in the field. The rising number of Cesarean births and the more advanced age of first-time mothers in the United States have brought with them an increased risk for complications, making the role of the obstetric anesthesiologist increasingly important. Inside you'll explore: Maternal and Fetal Physiology builds your understanding of placental transfer of drugs; Fetal Assessment covers the basics of antenatal assessment and intrapartum monitoring; Anesthesia and Analgesia addresses the anesthetic considerations of vaginal and Cesarean delivery; Neonatal Well-Being-including neonatal resuscitation and neonatal injury; Management of Obstetric Complications helps minimize the risks posed by abnormal positioning, intrapartum fever, and antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage; Management of Anesthetic Complications addresses the special problems related to obstetric anesthesia, including embolic events and intubation problems; Management of the Parturient with Coexisting Disorders prepares you for the special challenges faced when treating mothers with hypertensive, respiratory, endocrine, neurologic, or other disorders. Difficult and Failed Intubation: Strategies, Prevention, and Management of Airway-Related Catastrophes addresses the airway related maternal mortality, predictors of difficult airway and strategies to manage the unanticipated difficult airway as well as the critical airway with increasing hyoxemia. NEW to the Fifth Edition: new editorial team; new full-color format; new sections on Assessment of the Fetus; Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery; Neonatal Well-Being: Old and New Concepts; Ethical, Medical, and Social Challenges and Issues; Maternal Safety, Difficult and Failed Intubation, Morbidity, and Mortality; and Anesthetic Considerations for Reproductive, In-Utero, and Non-Obstetric Procedures.

This is the fifth edition of a popular, highly readable primer in obstetrics and gynaecology. It has been thoroughly updated and reconfigured to key into the new undergraduate curriculum n O&G devised by the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Praise for previous editions: An excellent resource for both student midwives and qualified staff alike. (Alison James, Midwifery Lecturer, Plymouth University) "A lovely book with a lot of practical advice and easy to navigate. (Jayne Samples, Midwifery Lecturer, University of Huddersfield) This fully revised and updated third edition of The Midwife s Labour and Birth Handbook is a practical and accessible guide to midwifery care. It addresses important questions such as: * Why are women being pressured into caesarean section for breech presentation when the evidence is equivocal? * If a baby needs assisted ventilation breaths at birth, why not bring the ambubag to the baby and leave the cord intact so the baby can benefit from the extra maternal oxygen supply? * Why is skin-to-skin contact at birth so rarely offered to preterm babies when there is evidence of benefit? This well-regarded text promotes normality and woman-centred care, using research, evidence-based guidelines and anecdotal accounts from women. It challenges practice and guidelines which are biased or based on poor evidence. Guidance is offered on how to deal with difficult, sometimes controversial, situations. The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook 3rd edition is an essential guide for both student midwives and experienced practising midwives. New to this edition: * Full colour photographs including a kneeling breech birth * Suturing diagrams to assist left-handed midwives. * Expanded chapters on slow progress in labour and malposition/malpresentations, including a rare photograph of a face presentation birth.

Anesthesia and the Fetus integrates into one volume the multidisciplinary components of: * fetal development * fetal pharmacology * assessments of fetal and neonatal outcome * anesthesia and analgesia during pregnancy * anesthesia and analgesia during labor * ethics and law Written by an internationally renowned group of clinicians and scientists, Anesthesia and the Fetus provides a contemporary guide and reference to the role of anesthesia, and the anesthesiologist, in protecting the mother and her unborn child during pregnancy.

Volume grande formato (21,5 x 28) di 135 pagine, numerose illustrazioni gran parte a colori.A “prima vista” le connessioni tra l’Oftalmologia e l’Ostetricia-Ginecologia possono sembrare tenui, ma se si guardano i dati epidemiologici si scopre che a livello mondiale la cecità e i gravi deficit visivi colpiscono prevalentemente il genere femminile con un rapporto di circa 3 a 2. Molte gravi malattie sistemiche, come ad esempio le autoimmuni, hanno come bersaglio preferenziale il genere femminile e l’occhio. Basi genetiche e fattori ormonali rendono l’occhio femminile più esposto alle malattie. Questa differenza tra i due sessi spiega la ragione di questo libro: richiamare l’attenzione degli Oculisti, per i quali l’occhio è di genere “neutro”, e degli Ostetrici Ginecologi, che quotidianamente sono a contatto con i problemi di salute femminile, sulle connessioni tra patologie oculari e fisio-patologia ormonale.La gravidanza, l’allattamento e la menopausa hanno importanti risvolti a livello oculare a causa delle variazioni ormonali che comportano. Gli estrogeni, ad esempio, hanno un ruolo protettivo su molte funzioni oculari e sulla circolazione retino-ottica. Leggendo il libro si scopriranno i punti di contatto fra le due specialità.Questo libro rappresenta quindi il tentativo di dare uno spunto di riflessione su una tematica di nicchia inconsueta da trovare nei libri di oftalmologia ed ostetricia-ginecologia. Abbiamo inteso impiegare il nostro extra time per dedicare ai Colleghi Ostetrici-Ginecologi ed Oculisti le nostre conoscenze e quanto abbiamo appreso nel corso della stesura. Siamo consapevoli dei limiti delle informazioni fornite ma ci siamo adoperati per rendere intelligibile all’Ostetrico-Ginecologo la materia oculistica e all’Oculista la materia perinatale e ginecologica. Per questo abbiamo adottato un modo di esposizione sintetico e semplice, utile cioè a rendere loro comprensibili i temi.
