About this title

Synopsis

Caring for patients requiring surgery presents unique challenges. Caring for the Perioperative Patient identifies the essential skills and knowledge required by all perioperative practitioners in order to care effectively for their patients.

Caring for the Perioperative Patient explores the influence of anaesthesia and surgery on patient physiology and the pharmacology of perioperative drugs, addresses essential anaesthetic, surgical and recovery skills, the management of perioperative equipment, and examines communication, risks and pre–operative assessment.
