An invaluable new textbook of pediatric anesthesiology—modeled after the bestselling Morgan and Mikhail’s Clinical Anesthesiology
Filling a void in the anesthesiology literature, this new text delivers a streamlined yet comprehensive discussion of the unique aspects and considerations necessary to successfully manage pediatric patients. Forty concise chapters written by leading pediatric anesthesiologists cover pertinent issues practitioners face in and out of the operating room.
For each procedure covered, there is a review of equipment, technique, alternatives, and ways to manage complications or troubleshoot errors. Helpful “Focus Points” summarize salient concepts in every chapter. Informative illustrations, tables, and graphs are featured throughout.
Clinical Pediatric Anesthesiology provides the necessary tools to develop a solid understanding of understand pediatric anesthesia and effectively manage pediatric anesthesia cases. It’s an essential resource for both trainees and practitioners.
Clinical Pediatric Anesthesiology ¬covers:
Pre-operative evaluation
Physiological and anatomical considerations
Monitoring, breathing systems, and machines
Advanced airway techniques
Pharmacology
Intraoperative complications
Critical care medicine
Post anesthesia care
Advances in pediatric anesthesia, and more
