Book SynopsisThis book explores the concept of prehabilitation to great depths using all possible modes of prehabilitation across surgical specialities. Prehabilitation is a unique concept that is becoming popular day-by-day. It began from the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program and has found importance in almost all of the surgeries now. The book possibly being the first on prehabilitation globally introduces the concept, describes the methods of functional assessment of the patients scheduled for extensive cancer surgery, and ways of pre-optimisation. It covers the methods of prehabilitation system-wise and then provides pehabilitation tools specific for individual onco-surgical subspecialties. The book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of onco-anesthesia and onco-surgery in optimizing their patients before surgery for best results. It will also be useful for the allied disciplines such as nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists and oncology nurses.Table of ContentsSection I: Introduction to Prehabilitation.- Concept of prehabilitation.- Functional assessment: MET, ECOG.- Section II: Systemic Prehabilitation.- Cardiovascular prehabilitation.- Respiratory prehabilitation.- Endocrine prehabilitation.- Hematological prehabilitation.- Nutritional prehabilitation.- Role of Physiotherapy in prehabilitation.- Psychological and social prehabilitation.- Section III: Prehabilitation for Cancer Surgery- Speciality wise.- Prehabilitation for Liver, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery.- Prehabilitation for Colorectal surgery, ERAS elements.- Prehabilitation for thoracic surgery.- Prehabilitation for uro-gynae-oncological surgery.- Prehabilitation for head and neck onco-surgery.- Prehabilitation for Skeletal/muscular cancer surgery.

Book SynopsisConsidering the rapid developments in digital and information technologies, artificial intelligence has long been a hot topic in medicine. This book discusses applications of artificial intelligence in anaesthesiology, including control of anesthesia, risk prediction, ultrasound guidance, pain management, and operating room logistics. This book first defines basic concepts of AI, and give a brief overview of a few algorithms frequently used in AI and machine learning. A review of current AI and machine learning applications for the prediction of anesthesia conditions is also discussed, including those for the prediction of difficult airways before surgery, of adverse events and sedation effects during surgery, and of vomiting and pain after surgery. Even without extensive promotion and clinical application, AI is in development in anesthesiology; furthermore, it has a great deal of potential to maintain further development in the future. Lastly, ethical and safety considerations are discussed alongside AI limitations and challenges in anesthesiology.Table of ContentsArtificial Intelligence: An Overview.- Machine Learning and Learning Algorithms in Artificial Intelligence.- Assistance of Artificial Intelligence in Ultrasound-Based Procedures.- Artificial Intelligence in Anesthesia Control and Monitoring.- Artificial Intelligence in Airway Management.- Artificial Intelligence in Prediction for Hypotension and Hypoxemia.- Artificial Intelligence in Prediction and Management of PONV.- Artificial Intelligence and Pain Management.- Application of Artificial intelligence in Operating Room and ICU Logistics.- Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS).- Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Skill Training and Assessment.- Limitations and Ethical Implications of Artificial Intelligence.
