Trauma Anesthesia
By Charles Smith


* Publisher: Cambridge University Press
* Number Of Pages: 624
* Publication Date: 2008-06-23
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521870585

Product Description:
Trauma patients present unique challenges to anesthesiologists. Acute injuries require resource intensive care and are often complex cases especially when coupled with underlying, preexisting medical conditions. Anesthesiologists are involved with trauma patients beginning with airway and shock resuscitation, continuing with intraoperative care during surgery, and extending on to pain management and critical care post-operatively. This new reference focuses on a broad spectrum of traumatic injuries and the procedures anesthesiologists perform to adequately care for trauma patients perioperatively, surgically, and post-operatively. Special emphasis is given to the assessment and treatment of coexisting disease. Numerous tables and 300 illustrations showcasing various techniques of airway management, shock resuscitation, echocardiography and use of ultrasound for the performance of regional anesthesia in trauma, provide an invaluable reference for the anesthesiologist.

Anesthesia for the High-Risk Patient

Anesthesia for the High-Risk Patient
(Cambridge Medicine)
By Ian McConachie


  • Publisher: Cambridge University Press

  • Number Of Pages: 318

  • Publication Date: 2009-05-11

  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521710189

Product Description:

The new edition of this successful text discusses the complete range of high risk situations likely to be encountered in anesthetic practice, providing practical advice on pre-, intra- and post-operative management for both elective and emergency surgery. The introductory section gives background information on risks and complications, enabling the reader to accurately and quickly assess patients. Emphasis is placed on cardiovascular risk, cardiac disease and cardiac management, but all key risks are assessed. The second section covers specific surgical scenarios such as managing the critically ill patient, the elderly patient and those with cardiac co-morbidities. Written in a concise, practical style by an international team of experienced practitioners, this is a user-friendly guide to the perioperative management of all high risk patients, and is an invaluable resource for all anesthetists, intensivists and hopsitalists.

Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 4th Ed

Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 4th Ed









By Richard A Jaffe
  • Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

  • Number Of Pages: 1408

  • Publication Date: 2009-02-01

  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0781766702

  • ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780781766708

Product Description:

This practical reference is a comprehensive guide to the anesthetic and perioperative management of patients during all procedures performed by general and subspecialist surgeons. The book explains each procedure from the surgeon's and anesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anesthetic technique, and guides the anesthesiologist through the decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery. The third edition has outsold its predecessors and has already exceeded LWW's LOE expectations. The Fourth Edition will be the first edition in full color.

Summary: No better than previous edition
Rating: 2

There was a great deception for me - almost nothing new since previous edition, for example, remifentanyl doesn't existe, no evidence based data for certains anesthetic managements. if you have a previous edition, it doesn't matter to buy this book it can be good stuff for a junior anesthesiologist. Michael DZIADZKO, MD, PhD
Belarus-France

Summary: Another Excellent Resource
Rating: 5

This book gives a clear, concise overview of the salient features of almost every type of surgical procedure.
Summary: excellent information!
Rating: 4
This was very helpful in my studies. I used Jaffe to get prepared for my clinical preparation. I would recommend this book to those pursuing a carreer in anesthesia.
Summary: Fourth Edition is Awesome
Rating: 5

I've used the 2nd edition of this book, but this edition is an order of magnitude improved. The book is much bigger: it now has over 1500 pages, and the print has color, including color diagrams. Best of all, you now get online access to the full searchable text, including diagrams. This overcomes one of the criticism of the previous editions that the book is not portable. You can now get full acess at work or print out the pages you're interested in on a color printer and just take that to the OR. I must say I was blown away by the improvements.
Summary: Take a good look before you pay for it
Rating: 3

I kept the previous edition for years and cannot remember a single instance when I really had to reach for it in a hurry. Contrary to its promising title and heft, it is not in the same league as Benumof's "Anesthesia and Uncommon Diseases" or the Mass General handbook. It offers earnest descriptions of surgical techniques beyond my level of expertise, while the anesthetic care is presented in a compressed, distilled form that resembles flash cards. You may find this useful for board prep. It is not really a manual because it does not teach how to do things - any major textbook does a better job. It is a reference guide. It may appeal to some readers, particularly residents and midlevel providers, as a convenient shortcut to understanding surgery.
