The only available resource to provide cutting-edge, in-depth
coverage of the links between obesity and anesthesia in surgery,
the reader-friendly Handbook of Perioperative Anesthesia:
Complications and Challenges of the Obese Patient guides the
practicing anesthesiologist through each stage of surgery for the
obese patient. This clinically relevant text thoroughly illustrates
the unique challenges and complications the anesthesiologist faces
when supervising and administering drug delivery during surgery.
Practical and hands-on, this source also advises the
anesthesiologist on how to avoid potential risks and ensure speedy
patient recovery post-operation.
Easily referenced, this handbook clearly addresses treatment and
management of the obese patient in the three chronological stages
of surgery:
- Preoperative - includes information on systemic patient
evaluation and surgery preparation, emphasizing related areas of
concern in the obese patient (cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine, and
others) to help the anesthesiologist foresee how a patient will
fare during surgery
- Intraoperative - provides a thorough discussion of the latest
in procedural technique, drug and fluid administration, patient
monitoring, and airway management
- Postoperative - steps the anesthesiologist can take following
surgery to optimize patient results
In addition, this handbook explores special situations that
anesthesiologists may encounter during surgery, including the needs
of pregnant and pediatric patients, as well as patients with needs
outside of the hospital setting.
