This Oxford Specialist Handbook is a concise, practical yet comprehensive guide to ophthalmic anaesthesia, covering anatomy, specific anaesthetic techniques and principles, and recent changes in the field.

This book is a comprehensive guide to ophthalmic anaesthesia detailing different types of anaesthesia, techniques, subsequent effects and possible complications. Divided into six sections the book begins with basic clinical knowledge including anatomy and physiology and the effects of ocular medications. The following sections examine the techniques and uses of regional anaesthesia, concluding with a chapter on emergencies in ocular surgery. The second half of the book covers general anaesthesia covering the physiological and pharmacological effects on the eye, and its use for numerous subspecialty surgical procedures including for examination and diagnosis, for paediatric surgeries, vitreoretinal surgery, glaucoma, emergency eye surgery and more. The final section is dedicated to the causes and management of chronic ophthalmic pain. Each chapter features an abstract and ‘nuggets of wisdom’ providing useful points on the topic. Nearly 200 clinical images and tables enhance learning.

Anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery can in certain circumstances stretch the confidence of the most fully trained and skilled anesthesiologist. The changing patterns of eye surgery and vitreoretinal surgery, and the increased interest in day-case surgery dictates that anesthesiologists should acquaint themselves with various anesthetic techniques, including local anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery. The authors of this book have been interested in anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery for many years. Drawing on their considerable personal experience, they present a sufficiently comprehensive text for the book to be a reference source for the trainee and a practical manual for those interested in and practicing ophthalmic anaesthesia. The book contains nineteen well-referenced chapters covering detailed peri-operative management of the ophthalmic patient who is undergoing either general or local anesthesia. It also contains a short glossary which non-ophthalmologists will find useful. The chapter on the anatomy and physiology of the eye contain information not usually included in standard textbooks of anaesthesia. Some chapters, such as "Systemic effects of drugs used for ophthalmic surgery" and "The eye as a mirror of disease" are extended to provide medicine and pharmacology.

It offers more than 200 new images and 4 new chapters focusing on urogenital concerns, genetic diseases, nociceptive disorders, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care. It is intuitively organized by body system to allow for quick and easy reference. Key features: Presents concise, yet comprehensive anesthetic considerations and management plans for dogs and cats with co-existing disease and patients with altered physiology Explores commonly-encountered disease processes and their anesthetic management, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurologic, endocrine, and hepatic diseases, among others Highlights important physiologic alterations encountered in neonatal, pregnant, and geriatric patients and their implications for anesthetic management Includes access to a companion website with relevant clinical videos at www.wiley.com/go/johnson/canine Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease is a must-have reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students seeking a one-stop resource for anesthetic techniques in veterinary patients with co-existing disease and/or altered physiology.

The first textbook to comprehensively discuss anesthesia methods and implications for every ophthalmic surgical technique. The subspecialities of cataract, corneal, refractive, glaucoma, strabismus, oculoplastic, vitreoretinal, and neuro-ophthalmic surgery are each covered by a leading authority in the field. In addition, there is thorough coverage of potential complications. This source is excellent as both a preoperative reference and a definitive overview of anesthesia for eye surgery.

This book covers all of the important elements of paediatric anaesthesia in a concise and structured manner. From the premature infant to the teenager, readers are guided through the complexities they may encounter, with key points at the end of each chapter to summarise the most important information. The common surgical conditions encountered in daily practice are covered along with comprehensive discussion of consent and the law, safeguarding children, and the complexity of drug dosing in the paediatric population. Other topics covered include trauma, burns, resuscitation, principles of intensive care, and transporting a sick child. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in their field, sharing a wealth of relevant, practical experience. Covering the whole curriculum necessary for advanced training, this is essential reading for trainees, general anaesthetists managing children in non-specialist hospitals and anyone aspiring to become a paediatric anaesthetist, as well as those established in the field.
