Pediatric Anesthesia Handbook

The second edition of The Pediatric Anesthesia Handbook provides the hands-on clinical guidance you need for the anesthetic management of pediatric patients. Presented in a succinct format with a wealth of tables and diagrams, this handbook gives you quick access to critical treatment protocols and basic procedural information. Consult this practical handbook for everything from general anesthetic considerations and clinical management to unique concerns and comprehensive drug lists. New in this edition you will find an appendix on vascular access, expanded resuscitation protocols, and concise diagrams on current cardiac procedures. This edition includes more discussion of outpatient procedures and unanticipated admissions as well as increased coverage of the patient with the difficult airway. From the pediatric anesthesiologists in the prestigious Department of Anesthesiology of Yale University School of Medicine, this book is an invaluable manual for practicing anesthesiologists, residents in anesthesiology, nurse anesthetists, and all those who treat infants and children. Six years after the publication of the first editionof this book, the editors refine and update the content, references,and style of their text. The goals include updating and fine-tuningthe previous edition of the handbook, with expanded coverage ofcongenital heart disease, the difficult airway, outpatient surgery, andemergency resuscitation protocols, while maintaining completeness,brevity, and rapid cross-referencing capability. Such an approachcertainly matches the current trends in health care that emphasizeoutpatient surgery and improved survival of children with congenitalheart disease. This handbook originates from the Pediatric Section ofthe Department of Anesthesiology at Yale University School of Medicine This is an invaluable addition to the medical library of anypediatric healthcare provider, especially for students, residents, andpractitioners of pediatric anesthesia. The handbook has a brief tableof contents and then spans nearly 600 pages that precede an expanded70-page section of appendixes (with a separate table of contents) and a30-page index. References in each chapter highlight the mostnoteworthy publications in the last decade as well as new ideas fromrecent manuscripts in fields of pediatrics, surgery, andanesthesia. This is an excellent, encyclopedic reference thatprovides a succinct overview of all major pediatric anesthesiachallenges, from basic physiologic perturbations to specific anestheticmanagement of complex pediatric diseases and related perioperativecomplications. The editors present a gold mine of information thatsets a new standard for pediatric anesthesia texts. Efficientpresentation of charts, tables, references, and indices is enrichedwithpoetry and whimsical caricatures that lend a sense of warmth andcompassion toward pediatric patient care. Bell, Charlotte, MD (Yale Univ); Kain, Zeev N., MD (Yale Univ); Hughes, Cindy, MDThe contributors represent the specialties of anesthesiology, including colleagues of the editors from Yale.
