This comprehensive, problem-based textbook discusses the full range of complications in anesthesiology. Major sections cover intraoperative and postoperative complications affecting each organ system - respiratory, cardiovascular, neurologic, ophthalmologic, renal, hematologic and hemostatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, obstetric, immunologic and infectious, and disorders of temperature regulation. Coverage includes problems that are rarely mentioned in older textbooks, such as ischemic optic neuropathy and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Chapters address complications associated with specific equipment and techniques, with adverse drug interactions, and with herbal remedies and over-the-counter medications. Also included are chapters on medicolegal issues and risks to the anesthesiologist.

Here is a clinically focused and comprehensive reference that covers all aspects of anesthesia practice - including pre-anesthetic evaluation, postoperative recovery, and everything in between. It discusses what works and what doesn't for all common and uncommon clinical situations, as well as how to avoid and manage complications. This second edition has been meticulously updated to reflect all of the latest techniques and practice guidelines.
