Anaesthetics Books

Book SynopsisThis concise, accessible book covers anesthesia for hepatico-pancreatic-biliary (HPB) surgery and transplantation, based on randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, case series, reports, and hands-on experience. The anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and clinical consequences are discussed, and the close ties between HPB resection and transplant anesthesia are explored. The content reflects current real-world practice, as liver and pancreatic transplant surgeries have substantially improved in terms of blood-loss reduction, fast tracking and reduced risk. The book also addresses anesthetic aspects in connection with the recently introduced and rapidly expanding practice of laparoscopic surgery; with enhanced recovery; and with pancreatic surgery. Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary Surgery and Transplantation is intended for aspiring HPB and transplant anesthetists, anesthesia trainees, and consultants with experience in HPB anesthesia who want to see whether or not they’re up to date on the current standards. Trade Review“The editors and publishers have aimed this book at a wider audience than just those specializing in liver transplant and specialist hepatobiliary anesthesia. … This book is at its best when recounting the authors’ real-world practice, which feels up-to-date and evidence-based. Anesthesia for Hepatico-Pancreatic-Biliary Surgery and Transplantation will be a welcome addition to the shelves of the world’s transplant centers, but it should also find a home on less lofty shelves.” (Nicholas Weston and David W. Hewson, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (6), June, 2021)“This book makes an excellent read not only for the budding hepato-pancreato-biliary anaesthetists amongst us, but also as a worthy aide memoire for those experienced in HPB anaesthesia who want to see whether they are up to date with the current standards.” (Ned Gilbert-Kawai, EJA European Journal of Anaesthesiology, Vol. 38 (5), 2021)Table of Contents​Part 1: Anatomy and Physiology of the Liver.- 1.

Book SynopsisKurz und übersichtlich finden Sie hier alle klinisch relevanten EKG-Veränderungen. Knappe, stichwortartige Texte bringen die EKG-Befunde auf den Punkt: hilfreich für alle, die akute EKG-Befunde interpretieren müssen.- Original-EKG-Registrierungen- praktische Leitlinien zur Befundinterpretation- zahlreiche instruktive Abbildungen"Das Buch ist somit nicht nur für Studenten und junge Ärzte zur unkonventionellen Einführung in die 'Geheimnisse` des EKG geeignet, sondern bietet auch dem Erfahrenen einen raschen Überblick über die differentialdiagnostischen Möglichkeiten bestimmter Veränderungen der EKG-Kurve." (Prof. W. Kübler, Heidelberg)Trade Review"In der nunmehr 3. Auflage werden nach einigen kurzen Grundlagen typische EKG-Beispiele dargestellt. Zu jedem dieser Beispiele wird durch kurze Definition und Darstellung der Differentialdiagnosen dem Leser schnell die entsprechende Diagnose klar.Hervorzuheben ist die Rubrik 'Schwierigste Differentialdiagnose' in der häufig wiederkehrende Probleme des klinischen Alltags sowie deren Problemlösung benannt werden. Folgt man den 'Diagnostischen Hilfen', werden Schwierigkeiten in der Diagnosestellung schnell überwunden.Die abgebildeten Elektrokardiogramme sind einprägsam, eindeutig und gut illustriert. Überzeugend ist auch die Systematik des Buchaufbaus.5o werden nach initialer Grundlagendarstellung entsprechend des üblichen Befundungsablaufs alle morphologischen Veränderungen der Stromkurve im Hinblick auf ihre Ätiologie besprochen, um schließlich die wichtigsten Krankheitsbilder mit den für sie typischen EKG-Bildern darzustellen.Die Praxisnähe dieses Buches zeugt von der großen klinisch-kardiologischen Erfahrung der Autoren. Somit wird dieses Buch sicherlich für Studenten und junge Ärzte von großer Hilfe sein. Aber auch der Erfahrene kann sich in schwierigen Situationen in kurzer Zeit Sicherheit bei unklaren EKG-Befunden verschaffen."

Book SynopsisDieses Buch beweist, dass es möglich ist, westliche Medizin mit traditionellen chinesischen Konzepten zu verbinden: Einerseits wird das chinesische System von Meridianen und funktionellen Organen und die 120 wichtigsten Akupunkturpunkte gut verständlich beschrieben und ergänzt durch eine Einführung in Philosophie und Tradition der chinesischen Medizin. Andererseits wird die neurophysiologische Wirkung der Akupunktur auch aus moderner wissenschaftlicher Perspektive erklärt. Den Hauptteil des Buches macht die Therapie von Krankheiten aus, basierend auf westlichen Diagnosen. Für besonders häufig behandelte Krankheiten werden die jeweils wichtigsten Akupunkturpunkte erläutert – also wirklich das Buch eines Praktiker für die Praxis. Für die 7.

Book SynopsisMany drugs used in current anesthetic practice are administered intravenously. An appreciation of their kinetics and dynamics is of great assistance in determining the most appropriate drug to use, and optimal dosage regimens for any given patient. This book is specially oriented to the requirements of anesthesiologists. It will enable the student of those subjects to gain enough knowledge to make these subjects usable in daily anesthetic practice. As such it is intermediate in difficulty between mathematically oriented texts, and those which only offer a very qualitative understanding of these subjects. Practical applications and examples of the uses to which kinetic and dynamic principles can be put in daily practice are emphasized and illustrated. Basic principles and techniques with which the reader can perform kinetic and dynamic calculations are explained simply and demonstrated in detail using examples derived from clinical practice. Two appendices provide kinetic and dynamic data on the most commonly used anesthetic drugs. The last chapters use the principles discussed in the first chapters to show how variations of normal physiology and disease affect drug kinetics and dynamics. This is especially valuable to the clinician as it enables clinically useful, albeit qualitative, predictions to be made of the direction of any change of kinetic and dynamic parameters of drugs due to these factors.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is the definitive book for addressing evidence-based anesthesiology. The goal of this book is to provide evidence to the various "hot topics" in anesthesiology. The goal is clearly worthwhile to ensure providers understand the literature discussing the topics. The chapters are honest and highlight gray areas that require further study. This is the fourth edition and there will be many editions in the future." ©Doody's Review Service, 2022, Robert R.
