Meet the clinical challenge of the difficult and failed airway--with this updated full-color guide Includes DVD with clinical cases Written by the founders of The Difficult Airway Course: Anesthesia(R) and utilizing an instructive case-based approach, this text/DVD presents all of the leading-edge principles, tools, and procedures of airway assessment and management. The scope of the book encompasses the many airway devices that have been developed since the publication of the first edition, many of which have the potential to markedly enhance airway management. Extensively revised and updated, the second edition of Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway emphasizes how airway management is context-sensitive: included are strategies for treating patients in a range settings, from prehospital care to the ER, as well as proven techniques for special patient populations. In addition, new chapters have been added to further refresh the book's content and provide you with a solid grasp of the most critical topics in this fast-evolving area. The book's effective organization has been maintained, beginning with the first section's focus on the basic foundations of difficult and failed airways management. The second section reviews must-know airway devices and techniques, while the third part of the text introduces case studies that thoroughly examine the application of these techniques in complex clinical situations. A final section covers the practical considerations, such as difficult airway carts and teaching and simulation in airway management. FEATURES Skill-building, case-based approach highlights the right tools and techniques for stabilizing the patient, plus important safety precautions relevant to the clinical setting New "context-sensitive" focus links airway techniques to specific clinical environments, including airway cases in prehospital care, the emergency department, the critical care unit, and the operating room Essential new chapters cover the fundamental principles of bag-mask-ventilation, single lung ventilation using double lumen tubes, airway management in austere environment, in addition to airway education and simulation Mnemonics, easy-to-follow algorithms, and alternative strategies (Plan A, . Plan B, etc.) in every chapter reinforce pivotal concepts Chapter-ending questions offer effective self-assessment Accompanying DVD packed with case study videos visually explains common procedures in a learn-as-you-go style

The first comprehensive text on critical care emergency medicine "...goes a long waytoward establishing emergency physicians as credibleintensivists...The book is unique as it blendsthe perspective of a true intensivist with that of emergencymedicine. The book is the fi rst of its kind, and Ipredict it will become known as the standard referencefor those emergency physicians, as well as others, whowish to understand the overlap between emergencymedicine and critical care."--Thomas M. Scalea, MD, FACS, FCCM, R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and University of Maryland School of Medicine (from the foreword) Critical Care Emergency Medicine is destined to become the standard reference for all clinicians who wish to understand the overlap between emergency medicine and critical care. Written by experienced emergency physicians and intensivists, the book is unique in incorporating both perspectives into the practice of emergency medicine and critical care. Critical Care Emergency Medicine teaches emergency physicians everything they must know and do to better care for critically ill patients in an emergency department or to provide care in an ICU. Enhanced by numerous algorithms that speed decision making and full-color illustrations demonstrating anatomy and technique, this book is an essential practice tool. Critical Care Emergency Medicine delivers expert guidance on managing: Airway and Ventilatory Support Pulmonary Disorders Cardiovascular Disorders Gastrointestinal and Renal Disorders Neurologic and Neurosurgical Disorders Hematologic and Endocrine Disorders Infectious Diseases Toxicologic Disorders You will also find important information on the use of ultrasound, fluid management, nutritional support, pediatric considerations, patient transportation, and end-of-life issues.

The book has been drawn together by Nicholas Padfield, a leading advocate of ITVA, together with a team of experienced contributors to provide a comprehensive reference source. The scientific background is discussed before going on to the specific issues of TIVA including 'awareness'. The specific types of anaesthesia are covered with discussions of the benefits and limitations of TIVA in each one. The information is supported by the latest research findings, to leave the reader feeling confident in their understanding and to be able to put the techniques into practice. This book, with its clear and concise format, will be an invaluable purchase for all special registrars and consultant anaesthetists as well as operating department practitioners wishing to gain a depth of knowledge in the subject.

"Mechanical Ventilation" is a new, clinically oriented textbook/reference that explains decisions and procedures related to mechanical ventilation in real-world terms. Both the principles and practices of mechanical ventilation are covered. Specifically, topics addressed are 1) the physiologic principles of respiratory failure that then necessitates mechanical ventilation, 2) the design principles of mechanical ventilators, 3) the physiologic effects of the mechanical ventilation, and 4) management of patients who are being mechanically ventilated.

Following the same format used in written and oral board exams, this handbook is essential whether you are a resident or nurse anesthetist seeking certification or a practitioner studying for re-certification. Concentrating on the most significant near misses, this manual focuses on complications in airways, potential cardiac events, and neurophysiological obstacles. Like all the books in the "Near Missesseries", "Near Misses in Neuroanesthesia" alerts you to real-life case scenarios with unexpected consequences.

Neuroanaesthesia is perhaps the branch of anaesthesia in which the expertise and competence of the anaesthetist can most significantly influence patient outcome. High quality research has driven clinical practice and led to an increasingly multimodal and multidisciplinary approach to patient care. All aspects of the modern practice of neuroanaesthesia are covered in this up-to-date, highly illustrated textbook. Aimed at the general anaesthetic department and ICU, as well as specialist neurosurgical and trauma units, this book covers the key areas needed for a firm understanding of the principles of neuroanaesthesia, such as functional anatomy, advances in bedside monitoring and imaging techniques, and then goes on to address practical issues of diagnosis and patient care. Best clinical practice is described in detail throughout, and the authors also evaluate some of the latest techniques of patient monitoring currently available, as well as looking at avenues for research that will lead to changes in practice in the future. It is an essential, one-stop review of modern neuroanaesthesia and neurocritical care for anaesthetists, intensivists and surgeons at all levels of practice.
