Anaesthetics; Midwifery

This book represents a unique and substantial guide, and will bring anesthesiologists up-to-date on advances in the neuraxial technique and its applications in obstetrics. Today the epidural block is almost exclusively of interest to obstetric anesthesiologists, and how it is taught increasingly coincides with its applications in obstetrics.

Since the classical, seminal textbooks by Bonica, Moore and Bromage, published in the 1950s and 60s, textbooks devoted solely to the epidural technique have become quite rare. Among more recent books, there are many excellent texts on epidural anesthesia or analgesia in obstetrics, but none are fully dedicated to the epidural technique, which is usually described in a few paragraphs or, at most, in a chapter.

This highly detailed book, including videoclip on epidural technique, offers comprehensive coverage on epidurals; as such, it will appeal to all anesthesiologists, especially obstetric anesthesiologists.

Reviews for Epidural Technique In Obstetric Anesthesia

“The book would be of considerable help to first-year anesthesia residents, regional anesthesia fellows, and their teachers. It would also interest all enthusiasts of regional anesthesia and scholars to help with their research. … In fact, it is an excellent book to learn and teach the technique of lumbar epidural. … This book is indeed a treasure for those who want to delve into the origins and intricacies of the epidural space, right from the beginning to this modern day!” (Nishant Kumar, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (3), March, 2021)
