<:st> The second edition (1999) is cited in Brandon-Hill. This clearly organized reference provides anesthesiologists with up-to-date descriptions of the methods used in all types of surgery. New to this edition are techniques and surgeries that include functional neurosurgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, plastic surgery, laparoscopy, and office- based anesthesiology. Many of the chapters have been substantially revised to reflect new techniques or procedures and new illustrations have been added. Each chapter includes a section on the surgery itself--including a description, preop diagnosis, and a summary of the procedure--and summaries of the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects of the anesthesia. A list of references is included with each chapter. Both of the editors are at the Stanford U. School of Medicine in Stanford, California.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
This practical reference is a comprehensive guide to the anesthetic and perioperative management of patients during all procedures performed by general and subspecialist surgeons. The book explains each procedure from both the surgeon's and the anesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anesthetic technique, and steers the anesthesiologist and surgeon through the crucial decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery.For each surgical procedure, the book describes the surgery itself and summarizes key preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative surgical considerations, such as patient population characteristics, duration of surgery, site of incision, patient positioning, blood loss, frequency of intraoperative complications, postoperative requirements, and an estimate of postoperative pain. For each procedure, the authors give step-by-step instructions on preoperative assessment and preparation, anesthetic induction and maintenance, procedures to follow during emergence from anesthesia, patient monitoring, and management of complications and postoperative pain.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Bulkiness prevents it from being where I need it mostGood book. Its bulkiness prevents it from being available where I need it, in the hospital, in the OR etc..
I guess it could easily be printed in handbook format, or better yet, become available in PDA format. That would make it much more practical in my view.Happy AnesthesiologistI used this book continuously throughout my residency. It is a very useful tool for perioperative management of patients. I still reference it during practice for those cases that I do not do routinely. It is an excellent reference.Ehh... OkI have been an anesthesiologist for over 15 years... and I would like to say that I don't believe that this book accurately describes the procedures taken in surgery. |
