Anesthesia

Hundreds of challenging review questions cover a complete range of essential topics in anesthesia -- from physiological and pharmacologic principles through anesthetic machine systems, anesthetic delivery in a variety of settings, and anesthesia administration for a full range of disease states. Chapters progress from basic to advanced topics, making it easy to assess any knowledge level. The end of each chapter has complete answers as well as specific page references to Miller: Anesthesia, 5th Edition and Stoelting & Miller: Basics of Anesthesia, 4th Edition. Cross-referenced to the leading textbooks among students, residents and practitioners in anesthesiology Ideal for board preparation or as a refresher for recertification Correct answers are provided along with references to the two main texts for more detailed explanatopms

This how-to-do-it text is on the administration of intravenous sedation & local anesthetic blocks for all procedures in facial plastic surgery - rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, rhytidectomy & dermabrasion. The book also includes chapters on monitoring the patient while under anesthesia, as well as the recovery phase.

Forty-one papers presented at the 2nd International symposium in Cleveland, Nov. 1986, offer the latest knowledge, clinical experiences, and patient management practices by 51 contributors. Acidic paper. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Pharmacology and physiology are the foundation of every anesthesia provider’s training and clinical competency. Pharmacology and Physiology for Anesthesia: Foundations and Clinical Application, 2nd Edition, delivers the information you need in pharmacology, physiology, and molecular-cellular biology, keeping you current with contemporary training and practice. This thoroughly updated edition is your one-stop, comprehensive overview of physiology, and rational anesthetic drug selection and administration, perfect for study, review, and successful practice. Contains new chapters on Special Populations (anesthetic pharmacology in obesity, geriatrics, and pediatrics), Oral and Non-IV Opioids, Thermoregulation, Physiology and Pharmacology of Obstetric Anesthesia, Chemotherapeutic and Immunosuppresive Drugs, and Surgical Infection and Antimicrobial Drugs. Incorporates entirely new sections on Physics, Anatomy, and Imaging. Includes new information on consciousness and cognition, pharmacodynamics, the immune system, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Features user-friendly tables, figures, and algorithms (including 100 new illustrations), all presented in full color and designed to help explain complex concepts. Helps you understand the molecular mechanism of drug actions and identify key drug interactions that may complicate anesthesia with dedicated sections on these areas.

The anatomic approach assists the anesthesiologist in gaining a better understanding of the relationships needed for achieving success with regional anesthetic techniques. The book includes photographs of human specimens with corresponding drawings to help illustrate anatomy in an intelligible manner. In addition, it includes photographs and drawings of the regional anesthetic techniques so the reader can develop a clear understanding of the correlation between the various landmarks and proper needle placement.

A practical, clinical book that clearly enunciates safe delivery of babies when anesthesia is used. Topics include monitoring the maternal (indirect) and fetal (direct) perinatal management of obstetric emergencies, premature delivery, twins, and breech presentation; neonatal intensive care; and more.
