Summary:

Relied on for 20 years by resident and practicing anesthesiologists and CRNAs, this best-selling pocket reference is now in its Sixth Edition. In easy-to-scan outline format, it provides current, comprehensive, consistent, and clinically relevant guidelines for anesthesia procedures throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Each chapter is written by a Massachusetts General Hospital resident with a faculty mentor, and the entire book has been reviewed, updated, and field-tested by the anesthesia staff. This edition includes new information on muscle relaxants, opioids, minimally invasive abdominal surgery, pediatrics, end-of-life issues, and latex allergies, plus a comprehensive, alphabetical drug appendix.
