Book SynopsisAll anesthesiologists eventually face the fear of a near miss, when a patient's life has been put at risk. Learning from the experience is crucial to professionalism and the ongoing development of expertise. Drawing on forty-plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, John Brock-Utne, MD presents 80 carefully selected cases that provide the basis for lessons and tips to prevent potential disaster. The cases emphasize problem-centered learning and span a broad range of topicsfrom an outbreak of operating room infection (could it be the anesthesia equipment?), complications of fiberoptic intubations, and problems with epidural drug pumps, to performing an urgent tracheostomy for the first time, working with an aggressive surgeon, and what to do when a patient falls off the operating table during surgery.80 true-story clinical near misses never before published, ideal for problem-centered learning, recommendations, referTrade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Provides a wealth of tips to prevent perioperative disaster and is ideal for problem-based discussions … . case scenarios that are informative and useful for practitioners in all anesthetic subspecialties and for those practicing in different environments … . I would highly recommend this book to anyone practicing anesthesiology … . It is always prudent to heed the advice of those more experienced than ourselves; with this book, Dr. Brock-Utne has solidified some of those lessons on paper to be shared for the future.” (Eric S. Fouliard, Anesthesiology, Issue 4, 2013)“This book includes interesting cases from the author’s (and his colleagues’) 40+ year anesthesia career. … The purpose is to present near-miss cases and the etiology of the problems. … This is a great book for anyone interested, even peripherally, in anesthesia and critical care medicine. It would be a great read for medical students or student registered nurse anesthetists as well as residents and practitioners. It is such an easy read that it can be picked up and put down quickly.”­­­ (Martin Dauber, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2011)Table of ContentsCase 1. A patient with a mediastinal mass.- Case 2.

Book SynopsisWhy write a book on the tourniquet? The tourniquet is used routinely in op- ating theatres throughout the world, but as far as I know there is no single book that surveys the considerable literature that has accumulated.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the first edition: "The use of tourniquet in orthopaedic surgery is a universal practice that is accepted with little question. Leslie Klenerman has had a life-long interest in the tourniquet and has conducted a considerable amount of research on its use and misuse. … He has produced a succinct summary of the physiology and application of the tourniquet … . a very readable account that must be read by all who may require use of this instrument." (Frank Horan, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 86-B, 2004) "The tourniquet is used daily in orthopaedic practice, and a lot of questions do not have a clear answer … . This little book covers the history, science and practical use of the tourniquet. … Complications, which often have medicolegal implication, are well described. This excellent book finds a place in all orthopaedic departments." (M. De Smedt, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 70 (6), 2004) "This is the first manual entirely devoted to the effects and potential complications of tourniquet use in surgery and anesthesia. It summarizes the scientific work published on the subject … . This original and very clearly presented little manual of 100 pages is of major interest for all tourniquet users, orthopaedic surgeons, anesthetists, and operating-theatre staff. It may also help experts, lawyers and attorneys, since medicolegal procedures can follow the onset of complications related to the use of tourniquets."

Book SynopsisThis book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) textbook series, provides detailed up-to-date information on the care of the critical ill very old (≥80 years) patients in the ICU.The very old are expanding fast in our populations, and this is mirrored in our hospitals and ICUs as well. During the last decade, a lot more information about the group of critical ill elderly has been published, and several large networks cooperate in performing multinational studies in this field, one of them with roots in the ESICM. This book will give readers knowledge about the current epidemiology of elderly ICU patients, in patients centered outcomes and factors affecting these outcomes. A large part is devoted to age related changes in vital organ functions, and the specific geriatric “syndromes” like frailty, cognitive decline, reduced activity of daily living, sarcopenia and immunosenecence. This is all important for the practicing intensivists to know about. In addition, specific groups of the elderly in the ICU are also described like the elderly patients with trauma or sepsis.The book is written jointly by intensivists and geriatricians, often working in teams and originating from many different countries. This herald a new era in the collaboration between these two groups in order to improve care and rehabilitation. We have a lot to learn from each other, as both groups have a holistic view of our patients although with different perspectives. This book should be of value for all working in adult ICUs, physicians as well as nurses. It will hopefully lead to a better understanding of the particular challenges posed by this important sub-group of ICU patients and how to manage his group in a way that combine respect for life as well as death and includes patients and caregivers in this process.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis book equips the intraoperative monitoring provider (both technologist and physician) with details of commonly monitored surgical procedures of the spine. This knowledge better allows the monitorist to identify critical phases of the surgery and correlate those with neuroanatomical and functional risk at each phase. Chapters are authored by a surgeon and neurophysiologist, with the surgeon contributing procedural content and the neurophysiologist contributing information on how the monitoring integrates within the context of the procedure. It is the first book that incorporates content about the surgical procedure directly with the intraoperative monitoring plan for the surgery. This text will have a wide audience throughout the medical specialty of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring; it will be of interest to technologists, interpreting physicians or neurophysiologists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons; essentially anyone on the surgical team that lacks a detailed knowledge of both the surgical procedure and the neurophysiology.

Book SynopsisThe end of the second millenium is distinguished for the increasing interest in the field of critical care medicine, not only among physicians and clinical scientists but also on the part of the mass media. This is an interdisciplinary area of medicine drawing upon the specialties of anesthesiology, internal medicine and surgery, and relying upon the essential contributions and support from basic research. Advances in critical care medicine depend on the application of new technologies to the clinic, the full integration of computers and informatics, the continual training of physicians and technicians, and the consideration of ethical issues in the clinical setting. Within this complex panorama of complementary approaches and viewpoints, it is apparent that critical care medicine is one of the best examples of evidence-based medicine.Table of ContentsRespiratory Care.- Principles of Laboratory Research on Respiratory Mechanics.- Static and Dynamic Pressure — Volume Curves.- Lung Function Evaluation by Capnography.- Clinical Implications of the Mechanical Effects of Heat and Moisture Exchangers.- Pulmonary Hypertension in ARDS: Management Strategies.- Focus on Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Thromboembolic Disease.- Rationale for Exogenous Surfactant in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.- Surfactant in the Airways: Function and Relevance in Asthma.- Alveolar Surfactant and Inflammatory Mediators.- Role of Surfactant in Ventilation-Induced Lung Injury.- Has ARDS Epidemiology Changed in the Last 30 Years?.- Mechanism of ARDS.- Dynamics of Recruitment and Collapse of the Lung in Models of ARDS.- Regional Lung Blood Flow and Inhalation of Nitric Oxide.- Mechanisms and Detection of Tidal Expiratory Flow Limitation.- Clinical Consequences of the Airflow Limitation.- Mechanisms of Intrinsic PEEP.- Static and Dynamic Intrinsic PEEP and Respiratory Mechanics in Mechanically Ventilated COPD Patients.- Respiratory Rehabilitation.- Perioperative Medicine.- Clinical Biochemistry of N2O: Recent Advances.- Anticholinergics: Towards Selective Antimuscarinic Agents?.- Evolution of the Use of Anaesthetic Drugs: Neuromuscular Blocking Agents.- Working Mechanisms of Anaesthetic Agents.- Fast-Track Anaesthesia in Cardiac Surgery and Postoperative Care.- Fast-Track Program for Abdominal Surgery.- Fast-Track Anaesthesia and Postoperative Care: Orthopaedic Surgery.- Failure to Regain Consciousness After Anaesthesia.- New Insights into Mechanical Ventilation During Paediatric Anaesthesia.- Perioperative Management Strategy for Cardiac Surgery in Paediatrics.- Anaesthetic Management of Obstetric Emergencies.- Neonatal Resuscitation.- Preoperative Cardiovascular Assessment.- Perioperative Haemodynamic Monitoring: Invasive Vs.

Book SynopsisTheodore H. Stanley, M. D. What's New in, Anesthesiology in 1988 contains the Refresher Course manuscripts of the presentations of the 33rd Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology which took place at the Marriott Hotel Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, February 19-23, 1988. The chapters reflect new data, ideas and concepts within the general framework of most recent developments in "evaluation and monitoring cardiac function before, during and after surgery," "new anesthetics and their actions on the heart and peripheral vasculature, and other organ systems," "metabolism and elimination of anesthetics and anesthetic adjuvants," and "recent developments in the anesthetic management of patients with congenital heart disease, renal and pulmonary dysfunction, and diabetes insipidus. " In addition, there are chapters on new developments in "obstetrics," "regional anesthesia," and "anesthetic management of the newborn. " The purposes of the textbook are to 1) act as a reference for the anesthesio­ logists attending the meeting, and,2) serve as a vehicle to bring many of the latest concepts in anesthesiology to others within a short time of the formal presentation. Each chapter is a brief but sharply focused glimpse of the interests in anesthesia expressed at the conference. This book and its chapters should not be considered complete treatises on the subjects addressed but rather attempts to summarize the most salient points.

Fully revised and featuring 12 new chapters alongside new essential OSCE information, it captures all of the essential knowledge necessary to pass these examinations.Trade Review'I can think of no greater resource for anesthesiologists preparing to take the anesthesiology oral board examination than this book. It condenses high yield information into manageable lessons for the busy anesthesiologist and the 'Knock-out Treatment Plan' sections take complex information and titrate it down to approachable, easy to remember points. In her second edition of this book, Dr. Lovich-Sapola has updated the impressive list of oral board topics. There are also twelve new chapters to reflect changes in the exam since the last edition of which the chapters on point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) will be particularly useful. This edition also includes information regarding the most recent American Board of Anesthesiology exam structure including the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) which will be welcome to examinees. Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Book SynopsisFeatured as a single volume, this is a comprehensive guide to possible nerve entrapment syndromes and their management. Each chapter covers a single nerve, or group of closely related nerves, and goes over the clinical presentation, anatomy, physical exam, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic/surgical techniques, treatments of perpetuating factors, and complications. Nerve entrapments can occur throughout the body and cause headaches, chest pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, low back pain, and upper and lower extremity pain. As an example, one of the most common forms of nerve entrapment syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, affects roughly 1 in 20 people in the United States, and is only one of several types of entrapment syndromes possible for the median nerve. Chapters are also extensively illustrated and include 3D anatomical images. The additional online material enhances the book with more than 50 videos - at least 2 for each nerve. This enables readers to easily navigate the book. In addition to a conventional index it includes a “Pain Problems Index” for searching by symptom. Peripheral Nerve Entrapments: Clinical Diagnosis and Management is a long-needed resource for pain physicians, emergency room physicians, and neurologists.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Part One Peripheral Nerve Entrapments – General Principles Andrea M.
