Description

Widely acknowledged as the foremost introductory text of its kind, the new, 4th Edition of BASICS OF ANESTHESIA provides the most authoritative and complete overview of anesthesia theory and practice available today.

  • Written by two of the foremost experts in the field
    • A second color makes the book even easier to use
    Updated information includes new and rapidly changing areas in anesthesia practice including:
  • Office-based anesthesia
    • New drugs-opioids, local anesthetics, muscle relaxants
  • New monitors-bispectral index (BIS monitor)
    • New regional anesthetic techniques-combined spinal and epidural for obstetrical anesthesia
  • Cancer pain management
    • Anesthesia simulators in education of residents and practitioners
  • New concepts in pharmacokinentics (context-sensitive half-time)
    • New airway management techniques-laryngeal mask airway (LMA)

    New chapters that reflect the emergence of important components of the anesthesiologists professional practice:

  • Opioids is now a free-standing chapter, rather than a subsection of a chapter.
    • Outpatient Surgery-Hospital, Surgicenter, or Office-Based is a new title for the chapter in the 3rd edition entitled: Outpatient Surgery.
