Utilizing a problem-oriented, multi-specialty approach to perioperative medicine, Perioperative Care: Anesthesia, Medicine, and Surgery, is a unique source of practical information on the total care of the operative patient. This useful handbook brings you up to speed on the most important topics in this relatively new specialty, including surgical advances - including laparoscopic procedures and transplantation; new viewpoints on high-risk patients; outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and quality control; and medical-legal implications of perioperative consultation. The author team, many of whom are dual board certified in anesthesiology as well as surgery and internal medicine, takes you step-by-step through the entire perioperative process - from pre-op to intra-op to post-op. The entire clinical process is examined from the viewpoint of all the involved specialties. Perioperative Care: Anesthesia, Medicine, and Survey is ideal for anesthesiologists, surgeons, and primary care physicians, as well as all medical subspecialists involved in managing patients in the perioperative period.
