{ "item_title" : "High Risk Anesthesia", "item_author" : [" Cletus S. Ramos "], "item_description" : "Managing anesthesia in high-risk patients requires more than knowledge of anesthetic techniques. It demands a clear understanding of physiological vulnerability, careful assessment of procedural risks, coordinated perioperative planning, and the ability to anticipate complications before they develop.High Risk Anesthesia provides an in-depth educational resource for anesthesiologists, physicians in training, and qualified healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of complex perioperative care. It explores the relationship between underlying disease, physiological reserve, surgical stress, anesthetic management, and postoperative recovery.What You'll Explore InsideRisk Assessment and Perioperative Planning: Examine physiological reserve, functional capacity, frailty, predictive models, preoperative optimization, and shared decision-making.Advanced Monitoring and Hemodynamic Management: Explore oxygen delivery, tissue perfusion, invasive monitoring, cardiovascular ultrasound, fluid therapy, and individualized hemodynamic goals.Difficult Airway Management: Understand airway assessment, oxygenation challenges, induction planning, failed airway rescue, and postoperative airway protection.Complex Cardiovascular and Respiratory Conditions: Study perioperative considerations involving ischemic heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, pulmonary hypertension, severe respiratory disease, and respiratory failure.Organ Dysfunction and Metabolic Disorders: Review anesthetic considerations in renal and hepatic impairment, electrolyte disturbances, diabetes, endocrine disease, neurological disorders, anemia, and coagulopathy.Frailty and Special Patient Populations: Explore the challenges associated with advanced age, pregnancy, neonatal and pediatric patients, and multiple interacting medical conditions.Critical Illness and Complex Surgery: Examine perioperative challenges in sepsis, shock, major trauma, burns, cardiac and vascular procedures, transplantation, and extensive abdominal surgery.Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management: Consider regional techniques, hemodynamic effects, local anesthetic toxicity, multimodal analgesia, and respiratory risks.Crisis Management and Postoperative Rescue: Study major perioperative emergencies, respiratory failure, hemodynamic collapse, critical care handover, and postoperative organ injury.A Structured Approach to Clinical ReasoningThe book emphasizes the mechanisms behind patient deterioration and the reasoning that connects assessment with management. It considers how preoperative decisions influence induction, how intraoperative events affect recovery, and how postoperative monitoring and support contribute to patient-centered outcomes.With 23 chapters covering a broad range of high-risk perioperative situations, the book offers a structured framework for examining complex clinical problems, interpreting physiological changes, and understanding the importance of individualized care.Who Is This Book For?This reference is intended for anesthesiologists, anesthesia residents, physicians in training, and appropriately qualified healthcare professionals interested in advanced perioperative medicine and the management of medically complex patients.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/592/9798165920554_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "249.99", "online_price" : "249.99", "our_price" : "249.99", "club_price" : "249.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
