Oversized paperback, xx + 432 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Covers show handling scratches and a small area of scuffing on the rear side-edge. Spine remains free of creasing. -- This book addresses the critical shortage of safe anaesthesia and surgical care in low- and middle-income countries. It brings together contributions from anaesthesiologists, surgeons, public health specialists and humanitarian workers to examine the barriers to safe surgical care worldwide and the practical means of overcoming them. The text covers the global burden of surgical disease, workforce shortages, infrastructure limitations, and the ethical and cultural challenges facing visiting medical professionals. Individual chapters address anaesthesia delivery in resource-limited settings, pain management, obstetric and paediatric anaesthesia in underserved populations, trauma care, and the particular demands of disaster and conflict medicine. The book also examines training models for local providers, the role of non-physician anaesthetists, and strategies for building sustainable capacity rather than short-term intervention. Practical guidance is offered on topics including equipment adaptation, drug availability, preoperative assessment in settings with limited diagnostics, and the management of complications without access to intensive care. The organisational and logistical aspects of global health work are also addressed, from mission planning and funding to personal safety and the psychological impact on volunteers. The book remains directly relevant as global surgery and anaesthesia continue to be recognised as essential components of universal health coverage, particularly following the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery's landmark recommendations in the same year.…

“This brilliantly assembled expert compendium provides a much-needed guide for the practical application of anesthesiology in medical practice in the most bereft underdeveloped and violence-afflicted regions of the globe.” ―Seymour Topping, Professor Emeritus of International Journalism, Columbia University
This is a comprehensive guide to the role of anesthesiologists in medical missions. In their capacity as perioperative physicians, anesthesiologists improve the safety and efficacy of surgical interventions for underserved patients in low- and middle-income countries around the world. Contributions from international experts in global health provide essential historical context, practical medical and surgical considerations for planning missions, and scenarios of “on the ground” implementation of care. The final section considers anesthesiology education in the context of global health. This is an encompassing and eye-opening resource for trainees and physicians considering participating in a medical mission and students and faculty of global health.
