Main description:

Recognized authorities in anesthesiology and surgical critical care present you with today's best management approaches for achieving optimal perioperative outcomes. They review the potential risks to all major organ systems by examining the incidence and significance of organ dysfunction...assessing the etiology of particular organ dysfunctions...defining the preoperative and intraoperative risk factors...and offering perioperative protection strategies to minimize potential complications. A consistent chapter format - combined with color-coded algorithms, summary tables and boxes - enable you to quickly locate specific guidance.

Top evidence- and outcome-based strategies from leading world authorities enable you to avoid and manage complications.
A consistent format allows you to easily and efficiently access the very latest research and clinical practice guidelines.
Color-coded algorithms, as well as abundant summary tables and boxes, save you valuable time in locating the best management approaches.
