This book is the first of its kind - a comprehensive reference for anesthesia and perioperative clinicians involved in aortic surgery. With a primary focus on anesthesia for various aortic surgical procedures, including endovascular aortic surgery, the title also provides expanded coverage of CNS monitoring and protection, intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, renal and spinal cord protection during surgery, management of aortic trauma, and postoperative care. Written by top cardiac anesthesiologists, surgeons, and intensivists, this indispensable reference provides everything you need to know about the burgeoning field of aortic surgery in one handy volume.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"Anesthesia and Perioperative Care for Aortic Surgery ... is a multi-authored American book providing an in-depth review of anaesthesia for surgery of the entire aorta. ... The individual chapters are generally well written and laid out with a good selection of relevant images and a balanced discussion of the evidence base for clinical practice. ... In summary, this is a well written, comprehensive book which will ... certainly be of value to those practicing vascular or cardiothoracic anaesthesia." (G. Woodward and S. Howell, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 111 (4), October, 2013)

"Anesthesia and Perioperative care for Aortic Surgery is well presented and easy to read. It is certainly to be recommended to vascular, cardiac, and thoracic anesthesiologists and as an important addition to anesthesia libraries as a reference source." (Elizabeth A. M. Frost, Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, Vol. 25 (1), January, 2013)

"It is the only currently available textbook to focus specifically on perioperative care of the aortic surgery patient... . The range of subjects chosen by the editors attests to their experience in the field... . The wonderful images within the book, comprising diagrams, photographs, and radiographic images, easily facilitate the explanation of complex aortic anatomy and surgical techniques. ... a valuable ... reference source for ... all clinicians involved in aortic surgery." (Christine Fedorow and Hilary Grocott, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, December, 2012)

"Its attention to spinal cord and brain protection, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and endovascular procedures broadens the audience to critical care physicians, surgeons, and neurologists. ...This is a wonderful, easy-to-read, well-illustrated book on aortic surgery. It is ideally suited for anesthesia residents in a program with a vascular rotation, as it can easily be read in a week or two." (Martin H. Dauber, Doody's Book Reviews, June 17, 2011)

This is the first comprehensive reference on anesthesia and perioperative care for aortic surgery. Edited and written by leading experts in medicine, surgery, and anesthesia, it provides detailed descriptions of aortic surgery and anesthesia for specific aortic procedures, including ascending aorta, arch, descending aorta, endovascular surgery, trauma, and surgery for congenital aortic pathologies. The book devotes separate chapters to intraoperative echocardiography and cerebral monitoring, and because organ dysfunction is a major cause of mortality and morbidity after aortic surgery, it addresses spinal cord and renal protection. A final chapter covers postoperative care. Anesthesia and Perioperative Care for Aortic Surgery is a “must” for cardiac anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, intensivists, nurse anesthetists, and residents and fellows involved in this growing area.
