Summary:

The chapters in Essentials of Cardiac Anesthesia for Noncardiac Surgery have been written by acknowledged experts in each specific area, and the material has been coordinated to maximize its clinical value. Recent information has been integrated from anesthesiology, surgery, cardiology, critical care medicine, and clinical pharmacology to present a complete clinical picture. This "essential" information will assist the clinician in understanding the basic principles of each subject and facilitate their application in practice. Because of the large volume of information presented, several teaching aids have been included to help highlight the most important clinical information. Teaching boxes include many of the key take-home messages. In addition, the Key Points at the start of each chapter highlight the major areas covered. Finally, each chapter includes a list of Suggested Reading for additional information, rather than an extensive list of references.
