Now in a fully revised and updated Sixth Edition, Dr. Light's classic text, Pleural Diseases, delivers even more focused content on the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of pleural diseases. The text's straightforward, single-author perspective combines procedural expertise, insights on recent technical advances, and clear recommendations for both diagnosis and treatment. This edition includes current and timely information on management of both paraneoplastic and malignant pleural effusions, new cautions regarding the need for training in thoracentesis, diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusions, and newer agents for producing effusions. Inside this powerful, fact-packed resource: three algorithms for diagnosis of pleural effusions help identify causes of pathologic findings; chapters on thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, chest tube insertion, and thoracoscopy provide indications and contraindications along with step-by-step procedural guidance; detailed coverage of parapneumonic and malignant pleural effusions addresses the most recent advances in treatment. New to the sixth edition: updated treatment regimens for paraneoplastic lesions broaden therapeutic options; consensus-building content presents a unified approach to the use of indwelling catheters in the management of malignant pleural effusions; new emphasis on training for thoracentesis helps minimize procedure-related morbidity and mortality; new recommendations regarding chest tubes help ensure the proper tube is used for each procedure; and new tests refine the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusions. Plus ...a free companion website provides on-demand access to the fully searchable text and images.

Now in a fully updated Fifth Edition, "Shnider and Levinson's Anesthesia for Obstetrics", continues to provide the comprehensive coverage that has made it the leading reference in the field. The rising number of Cesarean births and the more advanced age of first-time mothers in the United States have brought with them an increased risk for complications, making the role of the obstetric anesthesiologist increasingly important. Inside you'll explore: Maternal and Fetal Physiology builds your understanding of placental transfer of drugs; Fetal Assessment covers the basics of antenatal assessment and intrapartum monitoring; Anesthesia and Analgesia addresses the anesthetic considerations of vaginal and Cesarean delivery; Neonatal Well-Being-including neonatal resuscitation and neonatal injury; Management of Obstetric Complications helps minimize the risks posed by abnormal positioning, intrapartum fever, and antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage; Management of Anesthetic Complications addresses the special problems related to obstetric anesthesia, including embolic events and intubation problems; Management of the Parturient with Coexisting Disorders prepares you for the special challenges faced when treating mothers with hypertensive, respiratory, endocrine, neurologic, or other disorders. Difficult and Failed Intubation: Strategies, Prevention, and Management of Airway-Related Catastrophes addresses the airway related maternal mortality, predictors of difficult airway and strategies to manage the unanticipated difficult airway as well as the critical airway with increasing hyoxemia. NEW to the Fifth Edition: new editorial team; new full-color format; new sections on Assessment of the Fetus; Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery; Neonatal Well-Being: Old and New Concepts; Ethical, Medical, and Social Challenges and Issues; Maternal Safety, Difficult and Failed Intubation, Morbidity, and Mortality; and Anesthetic Considerations for Reproductive, In-Utero, and Non-Obstetric Procedures.
