This fully updated third edition of this popular handbook provides
a concise summary of perioperative management of high-risk surgical
patients. Written by an international group of senior clinicians,
chapters retain the practical nature of previous editions, with
concise text in a bulleted format offering rapid access to key
facts and advice. Several new chapters cover topics including:
anesthetic mortality; cardiopulmonary exercise testing;
perioperative optimization; obstructive sleep apnea and obesity
hypoventilation syndrome; smoking, alcohol and recreational drug
abuse; intraoperative ventilatory management; the role of
simulation in managing the high-risk patient; anesthesia, surgery
and palliative care; anesthesia and cancer surgery; neurotrauma and
other high-risk neuro cases; anesthesia for end-stage renal and
liver disease; and transplant patients. Essential reading for
trainee anesthesiologists managing seriously ill patients during
surgery or studying for postgraduate examinations, this is also a
valuable refresher for anesthesiologists and intensivists looking
for an update on the latest evidence-based care.
