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 care for operative delivery and the perioperative
period, 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.
