Main description:

The benchmark in anesthesiology - updated and streamlined

Written and edited by an internationally known team of experts, Anesthesiology, Third Edition delivers a 360-degree view of the field, covering all of the anesthetic considerations, preparations, and procedures for the surgical patient, the pain patient, or the critical care patient. Readers will find a unique balance between clinical information, practical clinical procedures, and the molecular and basic scientific underpinnings of anesthesiology practice.

This acclaimed text offers a multi-perspective, wide-ranging view of anesthetic drugs, procedures, co-morbid diseases, and need-to-know postoperative pain management strategies. This essential guide not only focuses on general anesthesia, but was the first to feature a detailed look at the subspecialty of regional anesthesia.

* NEW! Revamped section on co-existing disease, a more streamlined presentation, and completely updated content
* Complete coverage that spans the entire field, including all of the anesthetic considerations, preparations, and procedures for the surgical patient, the pain patient, and critical care patient
* Ideal for anesthesiology residents and practitioners preparing for the Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA) exam
* Balanced presentation surveys clinical information, practical clinical procedures, and the molecular and basic scientific foundations of anesthesiology practice
* Learning aids such as key points, numerous tables and algorithms, and key references
* Engaging full-color presentation
