Synopsis

This practical reference is a guide to the anaesthetic 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 anaesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anaesthetic technique, and guides the anaesthesiologist and surgeon through the crucial decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery. The second edition features an extensive new chapter on procedures performed outside the operating room. Other chapters have been expanded to include additional procedures, particularly endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. This edition provides more complete coverage of paediatric cardiovascular surgery for congenital heart disease. Other new topics covered include pallidotomy, thalamotomy, skull base surgery, thoracic outlet procedures, transmyocardial laser surgery, mastectomy with TRAM flap reconstruction, reduction and augmentation mammoplasty, removal of breast implants, thoracotomy for trauma, microdiscectomy, liposuction, and anaesthesia for patients with heart/lung transplants.

About this title

Review

'covers new techniques and procedures such as robotic cases'
'covers a wide range of procedures broken down by specialty'
'The strong points of the book are its organization, its ease of use when trying to identify a certain procedure, and the clarity of its presentation of what the procedure entails and its anesthetic implications'
'illustrations do a good job of helping to clarify any anatomy/procedural confusion and are of excellent quality'
'help anesthesiologists anticipate critical events and problems that may arise'
'truly the gold standard for anesthesiologists wanting to know about the surgical procedures that they staff.'

-Doodys Publishers' Club, Friday, July 11, 2014

'achieves the rare didactic feat of enriching what you know while also deeply shaping how you think about what you know.'
'Each procedure is helpfully and consistently organized into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative sections.'
'the reader is empowered to approach novel cases with a clear sense of what questions to ask, facilitating high-yield discussion and targeted literature review'
'this is a book that is not just meant to be read--it can actually be used!'
'the digital platform provides exactly the sort of portability and manipulability that the current and upcoming generations of anesthesiology trainees seek.'
