John Wiley and Sons Ltd Anesthesia and the Fetus
Book SynopsisThis book covers all aspects of anesthesia affecting the fetus throughout in utero life. The book comprises three sections looking at: 1) endpoints for fetal and neonatal outcomes, 2) anesthetic interventions that may affect these endpoint variables, and 3) confounding variables which may modify the effects of anesthesia and analgesia on outcomes.Trade Review“The book would be a valuable addition to most obstetric anaesthetic departments as well as informing paediatric anaesthetists, paediatricians and obstetricians of the current controversies regarding anaesthetic influences on foetal development and outcomes.” (Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Journal, 1 November 2013) “I must commend the editors for their success in bringing together such an enviable international list of expert clinicians from such diverse backgrounds as anaesthesia, obstetric medicine, neonatology and human development in order to share their knowledge. This is definitely a reference book that all anaesthetic department libraries should possess.” (Anaesthesia, 15 October 2013) “Clearly this book will be ideal for reference in departmental and hospital libraries and I will be recommending this to ours.” (The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 12 July 2013) “I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I would highly recommend it to every clinician involved in the care of the mother and her unborn child during pregnancy.” (Acta Paediatrica, 1 August 2013) Table of ContentsContributors, ix Preface, xvi Acknowledgments, xviii Section I: Basic Principles 1 Intrauterine growth and development, 3 Timothy Moss, Cheryl Albuquerque & Richard Harding 2 Maternal physiological adaptations to pregnancy, 19 Julie Phillips, MD, Melissa Covington, MD & George Osol, PhD 3 Placental respiratory gas exchange, 25 Lowell Davis 4 The fetal circulation, 32 Loren P.
