Evidence-based Obstetric Anesthesia -- Contents -- Contributors -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- PART 1 Analgesia for normal labor -- CHAPTER 1 Consent for obstetric analgesia and anesthesia -- CHAPTER 2 Epidural analgesia and the progress of labor -- CHAPTER 3 Maintenance of epidural analgesia for labor - continuous infusion or patient controlled -- CHAPTER 4 The use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for labor pain -- CHAPTER 5 Is nitrous oxide an effective analgesic for labor? A qualitative systematic review -- CHAPTER 6 Choice of local anesthetic for labor and delivery - bupivacaine,ropivacaine and levobupivacaine -- CHAPTER 7 Intrathecal opioids in labor - do they increase the risk of fetal bradycardia? -- CHAPTER 8 Epidural catheter design and the incidence of complications -- PART 2 Anesthesia for cesarean section -- CHAPTER 9 The effect of increasing central blood volume to decrease the incidence of hypotension following spinal anesthesia for cesarean section -- CHAPTER 10 The use of vasopressors for the prevention and treatment of hypotension secondary to regional anesthesia for cesarean section -- CHAPTER 11 Is regional anesthesia safer than general anesthesia for cesarean section? -- CHAPTER 12 Prevention and treatment of side-effects of neuraxial opioids -- CHAPTER 13 Multimodal analgesia following cesarean section: Use of non-steroidal anti-in .ammatory drugs combined with neuraxial opioids -- PART 3 Complications of obstetric anesthesia -- CHAPTER 14 The use of neuraxial anesthesia in parturients with thrombocytopenia:What is an adequate platelet count? -- CHAPTER 15 A rational approach to aspiration prophylaxis -- CHAPTER 16 Postdural puncture headache -- CHAPTER 17 Epidural analgesia and back pain -- CHAPTER 18 Analgesia for external cephalic version.
CHAPTER 19 Is there a difference between the obstetric and non-obstetric airway? -- APPENDIX Jadad scale for reporting randomized controlled trials -- Index.
Summary: This is the first text to systematically review the evidence for obstetric anesthesia and analgesia. Evidence-based practice is now being embraced worldwide as a requirement for all clinicians; in the everyday use of anesthesia and analgesia for childbirth, anesthetists will find this synthesis of the best evidence an invaluable resource to inform their practice. Contributions from anesthetic specialists trained in the skills of systematic reviewing provide a comprehensive and practical guide to best practice in normal and caesarean section childbirth. This book, coming from one of the world's leading obstetric centers and the cradle of evidence-based medicine, is a much needed addition to the obstetric anesthesia literature.
