Anesthesia of the Upper Limb: A State of the Art Guide
by Fernando Alemanno Mario Bosco Aldo BarbatiLoco-regional anesthesia offers evident advantages in almost all branches of surgery since it couples perfect anesthesia with prolonged postoperative analgesia. Furthermore, new drugs and techniques are ensuring constant progress, and in the past decade the advent of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia has played a key role by allowing direct visualization of all anatomic structures involved in regional blocks. In conjunction with electrostimulation, it has significantly increased the success rate of loco-regional anesthesia. This book, comprising 16 chapters and more than 140 color illustrations, provides detailed coverage of the techniques currently employed in upper limb anesthesia. It opens by reviewing the anatomy of the brachial plexus and the topographic anatomy as it is of the utmost importance for anesthesiologists to have a deep knowledge of anatomy despite the assistance offered by new tools. Subsequently the various techniques, including supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary brachial plexus blocks, peripheral blocks, and intravenous regional anesthesia, are discussed in depth, with due attention to potential complications. Up-to-date information is also provided on the role of ultrasound, and an entire chapter is devoted to ultrasound-guided interscalene and supraclavicular blocks. The book will be an invaluable learning tool for students and an excellent aid in daily clinical practice for anesthesiologists.

Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness
by Kate Cole-Adams"An obsessive, mystical, terrifying, and even phantasmagorical exploration of anesthesia’s shadowy terra incognita." —The New YorkerAnesthetize: to render insensibleFirst there’s the injection, then the countdown—and next thing you know, you’re awake. Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness is the story of the time in between, an exploration of that most crucial and baffling gift of modern medicine: the disappearing act that enables us to undergo procedures that would otherwise be impossibly, often fatally, painful. In the past 150 years, anesthesia has made surgical intervention routine, from open–heart surgery to the facelift. But how much do anesthesiologists really know about what happens when their patients go under? Can we hear and retain what’s going on? Is pain still pain if we don’t remember it? How does the unconscious mind deal with the body’s experience of being sliced open and ransacked—and how can we help ourselves through it all?Kate Cole–Adams weaves her own personal experiences with surgery and its aftermath with the explorations and personal accounts of others, doctors and patients alike—accounts of people who wake under the knife, who experience traumatic reactions, dreams, hallucinations, and submerged memories—accounts that evoke and illuminate the provisional nature of the self.Haunting, lyrical, sometimes shattering, Cole–Adams leavens science with personal experience, and brings an intensely human curiosity to the unknowable realm beyond consciousness.
Anesthesiologie (Quintessens)
by P. J. Hennis J. A. LeusinkAnesthesiologen hebben een breed takenpakket, zich uitstrekkend van het zelf uitvoeren van algehele en regionale anesthesie op behandel- en operatiekamers tot de coördinatie van behandeling en logistiek op de afdelingen spoedeisende hulp en intensive care. Nu eens zetten zij hun vakkennis in voor een pasgeborene van een halve kilogram, dan weer voor een hoogbejaarde patiënt met een marginale hartfunctie. De anesthesiologie heeft raakvlakken met zowel de beschouwende als de snijdende disciplines en vervult daardoor een spilfunctie in het ziekenhuis. Leerboek anesthesiologie biedt een gedegen basis voor dit veelzijdige vak. Deze herziene en geactualiseerde druk bestaat uit zes delen: het operatiekamercomplex, monitoring en apparatuur; farmaca; basisprincipes van anesthesie en intraoperatieve problematiek, preoperatieve screening; speciële anesthesie; postoperatieve zorg, pijnbestrijding en reanimatie. Elk hoofdstuk begint met een korte inleiding, bevat een discussie over een controversieel onderwerp in de anesthesiologie en eindigt met een samenvatting in kernpunten. In de operatiekamer is het contact met de patiënt vaak van korte duur, terwijl de anesthesioloog op de intensive care en bij de chronische pijnbestrijding een langduriger contact met de patiënt heeft. Veel anesthesiologen hebben zich gespecialiseerd in de intensivecaregeneeskunde, in bestrijding van chronische pijn of in de palliatieve zorg. De anesthesioloog speelt ook een beslissende rol in reanimatiesituaties. Ook op deze onderwerpen wordt ingegaan. Leerboek anesthesiologie is bestemd voor studenten geneeskunde, anesthesieverpleegkundigen en -technici en assistenten anesthesiologie en chirurgie. Het boek is geschreven door anesthesiologen die werkzaam zijn in opleidingscentra voor anesthesiologie en perifere ziekenhuizen in Nederland.

Anesthetic Management in Pediatric General Surgery: Evolving and Current Concepts
by Susan T. Verghese Timothy D. KaneThis book highlights remarkable new endoscopic, laparoscopic, and thoracoscopic approaches to the removal of surgical lesions for different pathologic conditions under general endotracheal anesthesia in infants and children. It details how newer techniques in airway management, monitoring, regional nerve blocks for these innovative minimally invasive approaches have resulted in a decrease in intraoperative and postoperative morbidity and early recovery process after pediatric anesthesia. This unique book contains features that provide the audience with several clinical scenarios where exceptional surgical outcomes are achieved with optimum pre-op preparation via collaborative team efforts. To date there is no other textbook emphasizing the anesthetic and surgical management during the most innovative advances in endoscopic surgery in children. Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for the definitive treatment of achalasia in children is probably the most advanced endoscopic surgery done successfully in children. POEM is the best example of endoscopic surgery performed via natural orifices known as the Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Another new laparoscopic surgical intervention -Median Arcuate Ligament surgical release for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) for patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is described with established perioperative protocols emphasizing the need for early admission, intravenous hydration, and premedication. Novel approaches in the anesthetic management in children with short bowel syndrome for bowel lengthening techniques like the serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) and in teenagers for laparoscopic bariatric surgery with adjustable gastric banding (AGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) for morbid obesity are new areas that would enlighten the readers. Anesthetic Management in Pediatric General Surgery is an invaluable resource for pediatric anesthesiologists, surgeons, and their trainees specializing in the care of pediatric patients.
Anesthetic Management of the Obese Surgical Patient
by Jay B. Brodsky Hendrikus J. LemmensThe global obesity epidemic is growing in severity, affecting people of every age and costing healthcare providers millions of dollars every year.
