Anesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery
by Basem Abdelmalak John DoyleAnesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery offers a comprehensive synopsis of the anesthetic management options for otolaryngologic and bronchoscopic procedures. Authored by world authorities in the fields of anesthesiology and otolaryngology, both theoretical concepts and practical issues are addressed in detail, providing literature-based evidence wherever available and offering expert clinical opinion where rigorous scientific evidence is lacking. A full chapter is dedicated to every common surgical ENT procedure, as well as less common procedures such as face transplantation. Clinical chapters are enriched with case descriptions, making the text applicable to everyday practice. Chapters are also enhanced by numerous illustrations and recommended anesthetic management plans, as well as hints and tips that draw on the authors' extensive experience. Comprehensively reviewing the whole field, Anesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery is an invaluable resource for every clinician involved in the care of ENT surgical patients, including anesthesiologists, otolaryngologists and pulmonologists.
Anesthesia for Spine Surgery
by Ehab FaragThe increased complexity of spinal surgical procedures in recent years has required more sophisticated anesthetic management of patients undergoing these procedures. Spine surgery anesthesia is now recognized as a distinct sub-specialty, increasingly undertaken by general anesthesiologists as well as neuroanesthesiologists. Anesthesia for Spine Surgery describes the anesthetic management and surgical procedures at every vertebral level in both adult and pediatric patients. The most important related considerations are covered, including: * Postoperative pain management * One lung ventilation during anterior thoracic spine surgery * Intraoperative neuromonitoring * Fluid management Additional chapters review the radiological features of normal and abnormal spines, common complications of spine surgery and ASA closed claims relating to spine surgery anesthesia. Written by highly experienced neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons, Anesthesia for Spine Surgery is essential reading for trainee and practising anesthesiologists, neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons.
Anesthesia for Trauma: New Evidence and New Challenges
by Corey S. ScherTrauma is the leading cause of death among people under the age of 40 and it ranks third for all age groups. Still, relatively few clinicians specialize in trauma and training is often obtained through experience The number of trauma patients is expected to continue to grow as pre-hospital care continues to advance. As well, hospitals increasingly see trauma treatment, which requires no pre-approval, as a good source of revenue. Given these developments, the number of opportunities for specialists trained in trauma, including anesthesiologists and critical care physicians, will expand in the years ahead. This book addresses the need for an up-to-date, comprehensive and clinically focused volume for practitioners and trainees in trauma anesthesia and critical care. It is organized by organ system. The editor is an attending physician at a major urban hospital center recognized worldwide for its outstanding emergency medical services including trauma care and is recruiting leading trauma anesthesiologists to contribute. Anesthesiologists, pain medicine physicians, critical care physicians and trainees are the target audience.
Anesthesia for Urologic Surgery
by Ethan O. Bryson Elizabeth A. Frost Daniel M. GainsburgThis is a concise, up-to-date reference on anesthesia for urological surgery. Urological anesthesia is not recognized as a specialty, and a majority of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists will provide anesthesia for these patients. Advances in urological procedures, the advent of treatment of patients with strong anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, and the demographics of urology patients (many of whom are young or elderly) present challenges for the anesthesiologist and have necessitated changes in anesthesia practice. The last volume on this topic was published in 2000, and the time is right for a fresh presentation of contemporary expertise in anesthesia for urological surgery. The book provides a brief review of renal physiology and pharmacology then addresses anesthesia for each major group of urological procedures (e.g., endoscopic, office-based, laparoscopic and robotic, nephrolithotripsy, renal transplantation, etc.) and in special populations, including the geriatric patient, the pediatric patient, and the pregnant patient. Separate chapters discuss the unique challenges of positioning the patient, and of managing the patient taking anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication, and the chapter on pain management addresses common and important perioperative concerns.

Anesthesia of the Upper Limb: A State of the Art Guide
by Fernando Alemanno Mario Bosco Aldo BarbatiLoco-regional anesthesia offers evident advantages in almost all branches of surgery since it couples perfect anesthesia with prolonged postoperative analgesia. Furthermore, new drugs and techniques are ensuring constant progress, and in the past decade the advent of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia has played a key role by allowing direct visualization of all anatomic structures involved in regional blocks. In conjunction with electrostimulation, it has significantly increased the success rate of loco-regional anesthesia. This book, comprising 16 chapters and more than 140 color illustrations, provides detailed coverage of the techniques currently employed in upper limb anesthesia. It opens by reviewing the anatomy of the brachial plexus and the topographic anatomy as it is of the utmost importance for anesthesiologists to have a deep knowledge of anatomy despite the assistance offered by new tools. Subsequently the various techniques, including supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary brachial plexus blocks, peripheral blocks, and intravenous regional anesthesia, are discussed in depth, with due attention to potential complications. Up-to-date information is also provided on the role of ultrasound, and an entire chapter is devoted to ultrasound-guided interscalene and supraclavicular blocks. The book will be an invaluable learning tool for students and an excellent aid in daily clinical practice for anesthesiologists.

Anesthesiologie (Quintessens)
by P. J. Hennis J. A. LeusinkAnesthesiologen hebben een breed takenpakket, zich uitstrekkend van het zelf uitvoeren van algehele en regionale anesthesie op behandel- en operatiekamers tot de coördinatie van behandeling en logistiek op de afdelingen spoedeisende hulp en intensive care. Nu eens zetten zij hun vakkennis in voor een pasgeborene van een halve kilogram, dan weer voor een hoogbejaarde patiënt met een marginale hartfunctie. De anesthesiologie heeft raakvlakken met zowel de beschouwende als de snijdende disciplines en vervult daardoor een spilfunctie in het ziekenhuis. Leerboek anesthesiologie biedt een gedegen basis voor dit veelzijdige vak. Deze herziene en geactualiseerde druk bestaat uit zes delen: het operatiekamercomplex, monitoring en apparatuur; farmaca; basisprincipes van anesthesie en intraoperatieve problematiek, preoperatieve screening; speciële anesthesie; postoperatieve zorg, pijnbestrijding en reanimatie. Elk hoofdstuk begint met een korte inleiding, bevat een discussie over een controversieel onderwerp in de anesthesiologie en eindigt met een samenvatting in kernpunten. In de operatiekamer is het contact met de patiënt vaak van korte duur, terwijl de anesthesioloog op de intensive care en bij de chronische pijnbestrijding een langduriger contact met de patiënt heeft. Veel anesthesiologen hebben zich gespecialiseerd in de intensivecaregeneeskunde, in bestrijding van chronische pijn of in de palliatieve zorg. De anesthesioloog speelt ook een beslissende rol in reanimatiesituaties. Ook op deze onderwerpen wordt ingegaan. Leerboek anesthesiologie is bestemd voor studenten geneeskunde, anesthesieverpleegkundigen en -technici en assistenten anesthesiologie en chirurgie. Het boek is geschreven door anesthesiologen die werkzaam zijn in opleidingscentra voor anesthesiologie en perifere ziekenhuizen in Nederland.
