The time and costs associated with developing emergency crisis aids for obstetric anesthesia can limit their use and implementation.  This is why we chose to share the manual we developed at Stanford at no cost under a  creative commons license.

Because our manual is currently in its first edition, we have incorporated limited modifications. However, we are open to feedback and suggestions for improvement. Our group meets quarterly to review feedback and consider improvements to the OB Emergency Manual.

Front cover, Hanger Information

  • The front cover is not intended to be modified at this time.
  • You are able to insert your institutional name or logo on the hanger to aid implementation at the point of care.

Back Cover, Phone List, Supplemental Information

  • Institutions are encouraged to insert a full page of useful clinical phone numbers here. To get started here is a: telephone numbers template.
  • The back cover contains a section designed to accommodate supplemental information.

Local Customization

We invite feedback about the Obstetric Anesthesia Emergency Manual that can help us improve the clarity and function of the publication.

Occasionally, customizations may be necessary to accommodate local needs and practices. Please help us understand these needs better by emailing us at obemergencymanual@stanford.edu.
