Synopsis

Connect Perioperative Signals to Safer Decisions

Clinical Practice of Anesthesia 2026-2027 develops the physiologic reasoning needed to plan, conduct, and recover patients from anesthetic care across routine and high-risk settings. Written for residents progressing from supervised fundamentals to independent decision-making, it integrates applied physiology, pharmacology, monitoring, organ-system disease, subspecialty management, emergencies, pain medicine, intensive care, and quality.
The Perioperative Signal-to-Action Framework links a meaningful trend to its physiologic interpretation, risk pivot, immediate response, failure trap, and confirming endpoint.

Use the book to strengthen these point-of-care capabilities:
- Preoperative evaluation and optimization - translate comorbidity, functional capacity, medication exposure, and procedural stress into an individualized plan
- Airway management and oxygenation - move from assessment through basic techniques, advanced devices, and failed-airway rescue with a prepared escalation pathway
- Pharmacology and anesthetic maintenance - anticipate context-sensitive drug effects, interactions, residual blockade, hemodynamic change, and emergence risk
- Monitoring and physiologic interpretation - distinguish artifact from deterioration by integrating trends, timing, surgical events, and patient reserve
- Regional techniques and multimodal analgesia - balance analgesic benefit with local anesthetic toxicity, neuraxial risk, block limitations, and recovery goals
- Subspecialty care - adapt management for obstetric, pediatric, geriatric, cardiac, thoracic, neurologic, trauma, ambulatory, and remote-site environments
- Crisis response and postoperative rescue - recognize anaphylaxis, malignant hyperthermia, hemorrhage, respiratory failure, circulatory collapse, and delayed recovery early

Build a durable approach to anesthetic care that joins anticipation, mechanism-based action, team communication, and verified recovery.
