Decision Making in Anesthesiology: An Algorithmic Approach

Part of the popular Decision Making series, DECISION MAKING IN ANESTHESIOLOGY teaches the resident or relatively inexperienced practitioner to approach clinical problems in a logical, stepwise manner through the use of algorithms, or decision trees. Each algorithm outlines the decision-making process and guides the anesthesiologist through five major steps: (1) preoperative preparation; (2) preparation for delivering the anesthetic; (3) induction of anesthesia; (4) maintenance of anesthesia, and (5) postoperative management. Perfect for board examination review, it presents a great deal of information in an easy-access format.

Provides Algorithmic format featuring decision trees to promote systematic thinking and logical decisions, enhancing clinical efficiency. Features comprehensive but concise information, covering the topics found in the larger textbooks of anesthesiology, but in a complementary, accessible format. An ideal book for board exam review.
