With an international membership of over 2000, the Association provides both a focus for anaesthetists who want to improve the care and safety of women in childbirth and a resource for women seeking information about pain relief in labour and anaesthesia for Caesarean section.
ABOUT THE JOURNAL
The International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia is the only Journal publishing original articles devoted exclusively to obstetric anesthesia and bringing together all three of its principal components; anesthesia for operative delivery, pain relief in labour, and care of the critically ill obstetric patient.
* Original research (both clinical and laboratory), short reports and case reports will be considered.
* The journal also publishes invited review articles and debates on topical and controversial subjects in the area of obstetric anesthesia.
* Articles on related topics such as perinatal physiology and pharmacology and all subjects of importance to obstetric anaesthetists/anesthesiologists are also welcome.
The journal is peer-reviewed by international experts. Scholarship is stressed to include the focus on discovery, application of knowledge across fields, and informing the medical community. Through the peer-review process, we hope to attest to the quality of scholarships and guide the journal to extend and transform knowledge in this important and expanding area.
