This new edition of Obstetric Anesthesia and Uncommon Disorders is a crucial resource for practitioners suddenly faced with a parturient who has an unusual medical or surgical condition. The book considers both the impact of a condition on pregnancy, labor and delivery, or the fetus and the impact of pregnancy on a condition or the effect of therapy for the disorder on the fetus or neonate. Case reports and experience from the world literature and clinical advice from many specialists have been drawn together by an international team of editors and contributors who are leading experts in the field. Clear, concise management guidelines and algorithms are provided, and each chapter is written from the viewpoint of the obstetric anesthesiologist.
