      Cet ouvrage collaboratif synthétise les différents protocoles de pratique clinique et d'anesthésie en obstétrique de plusieurs maternités françaises collaborant au sein du Club d'Anesthésie-Réanima... Obstétricale (CARO). En dehors des réponses apportées par des ouvrages plus théoriques consacrés à l'anesthésie obstétricale, il existe aussi un besoin de références de pratique clinique auquel répond cet ouvrage. Rédigé sous forme de fiches, l'ouvrage se consacre dans une première partie aux interventions qui surviennent avant la naissance. La deuxième partie se concentre plus particulièrement sur la pratique de l'anesthésie obstétricale. Enfin, sont présentés les soins post-opératoires et la prise en charge de pathologies très spécifiques de la femme enceinte. La rédaction de ces fiches est au plus proche de l'actualité et des recommandations les plus récentes dans ces différents domaines d'exercice. Écrit par des anesthésistes spécialisés en anesthésie obstétricale reconnus sur le terrain, ce guide permettra aux jeunes professionnels et à ceux qui ont un exercice irrégulier en maternité d'acquérir des références indispensables pour leur pratique. Il constitue également une base solide au moment de la certification des établissements pour étayer les protocoles déjà mis en place dans les maternités.
