Anaesthesia has traditionally meant the condition of having
sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked or temporarily
taken away. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other
procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise
experience. General anaesthesia can depress ventilation,
determining variations in pulmonary mechanics and alteration of gas
exchange, often related to underlying anatomical and physiological
status. The authors of this book describe the mechanisms
responsible for the impairment of intraoperative respiratory
function and discuss several aspects of mechanical ventilation that
can be employed to improve patients' outcome. Furthermore, the
administration of IV fluid is a part of carrying out a good
anaesthesia. This book examines whether perioperative fluid
management could change the outcome for patients undergoing
procedures involving anaesthesia. The possible extra-cardiac
indications of beta-blockers during the perioperative period is
explored as well. Other chapters in this book examine the effect of
high remifentanil doses in patients with brain tumours, the use of
multivariable fuzzy logic and self-organising fuzzy logic
controller structure to control anaesthesia, the different
modalities of anaesthesia techniques for gastrointestinal
diagnostic procedures performed in children, and an analysis of the
poly-alert system for cardiovascular changes during anaesthesia.
