Product Description
A succinct, practical guide incorporating both cardiac and thoracic anaesthesia in one book. The trainee or practising anaesthetist with little or no previous experience in cardiothoracic anaesthesia will find this to be a useful introduction.
From the Publisher
The reader is taken through the basic anesthetic sequence of pre-operative assessment, intra-operative management and post-operative care for both forms of surgery in the adult. The information is presented in a straightforward manner enabling the reader to easily assimilate the information and practice the techniques. Selected references are included to support the more controversial areas of practice, and to illustrate the development of cardiothoracic anaesthesia.
