Provides a clinically relevant and easy-to-read review of all key topics, written and edited by leading pediatric anesthesiology physicians.

The clinical practice of anesthesia has undergone many advances in the past few years, making this the perfect time for a new state-of-the-art anesthesia textbook for practitioners and trainees. The goal of this book is to provide a modern, clinically focused textbook giving rapid access to comprehensive, succinct knowledge from experts in the field. All clinical topics of relevance to anesthesiology are organized into 29 sections consisting of more than 180 chapters. The print version contains 166 chapters that cover all of the essential clinical topics, while an additional 17 chapters on subjects of interest to the more advanced practitioner can be freely accessed at www.cambridge.org/vacanti. Newer techniques such as ultrasound nerve blocks, robotic surgery and transesophageal echocardiography are included, and numerous illustrations and tables assist the reader in rapidly assimilating key information. This authoritative text is edited by distinguished Harvard Medical School faculty, with contributors from many of the leading academic anesthesiology departments in the United States and an introduction from Dr S. R. Mallampati. This book is your essential companion when preparing for board review and recertification exams and in your daily clinical practice.

This text presents the anesthetic implications of genetic, metabolic, and dysmorphic pediatric disorders in a uniform format that moves through common and uncommon manifestations in the major anatomic areas and concludes with implications for the anesthetists faced with such a case. This unique format is useful for quick look-up of information that is otherwise esoteric and difficult to find. The new edition will be completely updated and will be presented in full color for the first time, allowing for the addition of many color photographs.

An exploration of molecular genetics in relation to anesthesiology presenting the basics of clinical genetics and discussions of 25 genetic diseases. Weinberg (anesthesiology, U. of Illinois) introduces the central concepts of recombinant technology, perioperative evaluation of genetic disease, and issues in anesthesia research. The syndrome survey highlights such diseases as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and turner syndrome, providing the clinician with the scientific information necessary to understand the new research in genetic disease and patient care.
