Obesity is a global public health issue; significant numbers of the world''s population are overweight, growing numbers are obese, and many are morbidly obese. As obesity is associated with a range of co-morbidities (namely cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, and sleep apnoea), it presents a daunting peri-operative challenge to the anaesthetist. The increasing size and weight of patients presenting for surgery involves multiple issues from starting intravenous lines through to intubation and ventilation challenges. The Oxford Textbook of Anaesthesia for the Obese Patient is a highly authoritative, evidence-based account of the principles and clinical practice within the field. Across 36 chapters, this resource provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the subject including physiological and pharmacological modifications in the obese patient, bariatric and non-bariatric surgery, specific clinical issues such as fluid management and tissue oxygenation, as well as challenges arising from obesity in the setting of paediatrics, obstetrics, intensive care and trauma.Written and edited by experts in the field, this resource is the definitive guide to clinical management of the obese patient, exploring various international approaches to practice, with helpful case studies, and practical advice on common intra-operative challenges, and how to resolve them using evidence and best practice.

Are you an anesthesiologist or obstetrician navigating the complex landscape of peripartum care? The intricacies of managing pregnant patients during the critical peripartum period are covered in this concise and practical question-and-answer review. This book promotes learning evidence-based current knowledge on the clinical aspects of the obstetric parturient from the standpoint of anesthesiology, obstetrics, surgery, pediatrics, and public health. Each topic is initiated with several multiple-choice questions, mimicking the ABA and other board certification exams. Chapters are authored by contributors from multiple specialties offering their expert guidance based on evidence-based guidelines as well as their clinical experience. Key Topics Covered: Cardiovascular Considerations: Understand the hemodynamic changes specific to pregnancy and how they impact anesthesia and obstetric management. Learn to predict which cardiac lesions may lead to peripartum hemodynamic compromise. Hypertensive Disorders: Explore evidence-based strategies for managing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy during the peripartum and postpartum phases. Critical Illness: Discover expert insights on handling critical illness in pregnant patients, including considerations for acute respiratory failure and other emergencies. Neuraxial and Other Anesthesia Techniques: Topics covered include neuraxial anesthesia, inotrope and vasopressor support, and echocardiography. Learn when advanced critical care support is warranted. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a trainee, Peripartum Care of the Pregnant Patient equips you with practical answers to real-world challenges. Enhance your peripartum care knowledge to add to the well-being of your pregnant patient.
