Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides a patient with extra
oxygen to breathe in. It is also called supplemental oxygen. It is
only available through a prescription from a health care provider.
Patients may receive it in hospital, another medical setting, or at
home. Some people only need it for a short period of time. Others
will need long-term oxygen therapy. There are different types of
devices that can provide oxygen. Some use tanks of liquid or gas
oxygen. Others use an oxygen concentrator, which pulls oxygen out
of the air. The oxygen is administered through a nose tube
(cannula), a mask, or a tent. The extra oxygen is breathed in along
with normal air. This book is a concise guide to oxygen therapy for
clinicians and trainees. Divided into four sections the text begins
with an overview of the basic facts of oxygen, describing the
different types and their individual uses in clinical therapy.
Section two discusses the physiology and monitoring of oxygen
therapy, and section three covers different devices and delivery
systems, and oxygen toxicity (lung damage from breathing in too
much extra oxygen). The final section examines oxygen targets in
disease specifics, how the therapy works, and the effects of
hypoxia (low oxygen levels in body tissues) and hypoxemia (low
oxygen levels in the blood).
This book is a comprehensive guide to clinical anaesthesia for
practitioners and trainees. Divided into eleven sections, the text
begins with a general overview, followed by discussion on
anaesthesia delivery systems, monitoring, and equipment. A complete
section is dedicated to different drugs used in anaesthesia. The
next section covers anaesthesia for different types of surgeries in
various body systems. The remaining chapters detail more
subspecialty-specific anaesthesia including cardiac, obstetric,
neuro, paediatric, transplant, and regional. The book concludes
with a section on postoperative care. Authored by highly
experienced experts in the field, the text is further enhanced by
illustrations and figures to assist learning. Key points

Perioperative care is the care that is given before and after
surgery. This textbook is a complete guide to the anaesthetic and
critical care management of patients undergoing complex surgeries
in all organ systems of the body. Topics cover all age groups -
neonates, children, and adults. Divided into 11 sections, the book
begins with a general overview of critical care in the
perioperative period discussing airway management, pain, fluid and
electrolyte therapy, shock, arterial blood gas analysis,
respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation, and
thromboembolism. The following sections cover surgeries in
different organ systems and patient groups - cardiothoracic and
vascular, neurosciences, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology,
gastrointestinal, genitourinary, orthopaedics, head and neck, and
transplantation. The final section explains selected miscellaneous
topics including nutrition, haemodynamic monitoring,
echocardiography, renal replacement therapy, and antibiotics.
Compiling 700 pages, the comprehensive text is further enhanced by
clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Key points Comprehensive
