Editorial Reviews

Review

The book is well laid out, clearly written and has appropriate and clear illustrations … This text should find a place in all department libraries and is recommended to all clinicians for updating their medical knowledge. Anaesthesia and Intensive Care This text should find a place in all department libraries and is recommended to all clinicians for updating their medical knowledge. Overall, this textbook brings together the disparate subjects of endocrine physiology and pathology, clinical endocrinology, and relevant clinical anaesthesia and intensive care medicine, in a single concise text which should be immensely helpful to anaesthetic and perioperative physicians managing endocrine patients for elective and emergency surgery. I recommend it as a reference text for departments of anaesthesia, as most of us encounter diabetes and thyroid surgery regularly, and could potentially be faced with an unexpected rare endocrine wlwctive or emergency case at any time. tja.oxfordjournals.org This is an excellent tool for anesthesia trainees at all levels to acquire expertise in the perioperative implications of endocrine diseases. It will also benefit experienced anesthesia providers seeking to refresh their knowledge on the subject.

Apart from diabetes mellitus, endocrine diseases requiring surgical treatment are relatively uncommon. However, when they do occur, they frequently present major clinical anaesthestic problems that require extensive knowledge of the pathophysiology of the condition, and considerable anaesthetic expertise. This book provides the anaesthetist with a comprehensive examination of each of the endocrine conditions, covering underlying pathophysiological problems, and guidance on optimal anaesthetic care. It will be of use to trainee and consultant anaesthetists working in both specialist endocrine wards and general surgery wards where a patient with endocrine disease might present

Book Description :

The 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.

Contenido:

In recent years capnography has gained a foothold in the medical field and is fast becoming a standard of care in anaesthesiology and critical care medicine. In addition, newer applications have emerged which have expanded the utility of capnographs in a number of medical disciplines. This new edition of the definitive text on capnography reviews every aspect of this valuable diagnostic technique. An introductory section summarises the basic physiology of carbon dioxide generation and transport in the body. A technical section describes how the instruments work, and a comprehensive clinical section reviews the use of capnography to diagnose a wide range of clinical disorders. Edited by the world experts in the technique, and with over 40 specialist contributors, Capnography, second edition, is the most comprehensive review available on the application of capnography in health care.

Capnographs measure carbon dioxide in the breath, giving important data on many diseases and treatments. Capnography, second edition, deals with the clinical application of capnographs and the basic physiology of carbon dioxide. Technical chapters describe how the instruments work; clinical chapters describe the use of capnographs as a diagnostic tool.

Review

"Alvarez’s lucid presentation of these complex and timely issues is an achievement in itself, but even more so is his production of a very readable book. This book is assured to inform and complement the busy clinician. I recommend it to every physician involved in the care of the morbidly obese patient." Obesity Surgery –This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

The world is experiencing an obesity epidemic. In both industrialized and emerging countries, the percentage of adults and children with obesity is increasing annually. It is no longer unusual to encounter a patient with extreme or morbid obesity in the operating room; these patients are routinely scheduled for every type of surgical procedure. Everyone involved in the peri-operative management of the surgical patient with morbid obesity – surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists, psychologists, nurses, nutritionists, respiratory therapists – must be aware of the special needs of these patients. Morbid Obesity: Peri-operative Management, second edition, considers the perioperative care of the morbidly obese patient, from preoperative preparation to intraoperative management and through to their postoperative course. Edited by leading experts in the management of the morbidly obese surgical patient, Morbid Obesity: Peri-operative Management, second edition, provides clear, practical clinical guidance on the management of the extremely obese surgical patient.
