ANESTHESIA IN HIGH-RISK PATIENTS AND PERIOPERATIVE MEDICINE: Risk Assessment, Complex Comorbidity, Advanced Monitoring, Critical Care, and Anaesthetic Management of High-Risk Surgical Patients - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

High-risk surgical patients present some of the greatest challenges in modern perioperative medicine. Advanced age, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, diabetes, renal dysfunction, obesity, frailty, and multiple comorbidities demand meticulous preoperative evaluation, individualized anesthetic planning, vigilant intraoperative monitoring, and comprehensive postoperative critical care.

Anesthesia in High-Risk Patients and Perioperative Medicine is a practical, evidence-based clinical manual designed to help healthcare professionals optimize outcomes for patients undergoing major surgery. Covering the entire perioperative pathway—from risk assessment and optimization through postoperative recovery—this comprehensive guide integrates current best practices with real-world clinical decision-making.

Written for anesthesiologists, perioperative physicians, intensivists, residents, CRNAs, nurse anesthetists, and other healthcare professionals, the book provides a systematic approach to managing medically complex patients across a broad range of surgical specialties.
