- Synopsis
- For surgeons, anesthesiologists, and others in the field, Alvarez et al. , anesthesiologists and one surgeon from Argentina and the US, compile 25 chapters that discuss an important topic in surgery: the perioperative to post-operative anesthetic management of obese and morbidly obese patients. Anesthesiologists, surgeons, and other medical specialists from the US, South America, and Europe address pathophysiology; preparation and evaluation; monitoring, airway management, and anesthesia; post-operative conditions, including intensive care management, long-term complications, nursing considerations, and anesthesia for post-bariatric surgery patients; and special topics like organizing a team and the obese parturient. This edition has been updated and revised and emphasizes bariatric surgery and applications of its lessons to other procedures. It has fewer chapters, with consolidation of chapters on cardiac pathophysiology and disease and anesthetic agents, new chapters on pathophysiology of the pneumoperitoneum, rhabdomyolysis, and other topics; and additional or expanded chapters on special topics like informed consent and adolescents.
