Basics of Anesthesia

An introductory textbook that provides both students and practitioners with concise information pertinent to the wide spectrum (operating room, intensive care, pain management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation) of the practice of anesthesiology. Unlike the previous two editions (1984 and 1989), this edition reflects the emergence of acute postoperative pain management, organ transplantation, and anesthesia for procedures performed outside the operating room as important components of the anesthesiologist's professional practice.
