Summary:

Miller and Pardo (anesthesia and perioperative care, U. of California, San Francisco) provide a textbook for medical students, residents, fellows, and other trainees on the fundamentals of anesthesia. Anesthesiologists from the US contribute 47 chapters on the history of the field, its scope of practice, learning approaches, and medical informatics; pharmacology and physiology; preoperative preparation and intraoperative management; special considerations for various diseases, obstetrics, pediatrics, elderly patients, transplantation, outpatient anesthesia, and procedures outside the operating room; recovery; and consultant practice, including critical care medicine, trauma, bioterrorism, natural disasters, and chronic pain. Along with a more diverse group of contributors from other institutions, this edition has updated chapters; new chapters on awareness under anesthesia, quality and patient safety, and orthopedics; and expanded coverage of new ultrasound techniques in regional anesthesiology.
