Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia



A stunning new addition to the acclaimed Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia is the first truly concise yet comprhensive guide for anaesthetists, providing a practical approach to anaesthetic practice. Written by experts within their fields, the emphasis is on providing clear and reliable advice on a range of surgical situations, advice that can be accessed within seconds. Also included is information on preoperative considerations such as consent, implications of pre-existing medical conditions, postoperative problems, along with a list of anaesthetic drug dosages, infusions, and normal values. The Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia includes valuable advice for registrars and those sitting exams, whilst also being the one essential book for all anaesthetists, both junior and experienced, to keep in their pockets at all times.
This handbook is aimed at anaesthetists who have received at least basic training in anaesthesia. It does not tell the reader how to give an anaesthetic, but aims to help decide the best anaesthetic for different situations. We have tried to be selective about the contents of the book and have omitted some of the more traditional, but less relevant, topics for our target audience

Victory Over Pain A History of Anesthesia ~1945
Historical Book

Dr. Robinson has obviously tried to reach all classes of readers in this comprehensive survey of the history of anesthesia. There is enough of the "popular" approach to be slightly boring at times to the scientifically trained reader, and enough technical description in several chapters to be irritating to the lay reader. On the whole, however, the volume -is a welcome addition to the literature of the subject both because of its comprehensiveness and because of Dr. Robinson's shrewd and provocative analyses of the characters of the various men involved. The reader is given a stimulating glimpse of the inner personalities of Long, Wells, Jackson, and Morton-their strength and their weaknesses-and progresses from man to man with a feeling of disappointment that time and space did not permit a more complete study of each individual. Victor Robinson founded the journal Medical life, the first in the English language on the history of medicine, and helped organize the History of Science Society in 1924. The collection contains correspondence, original typescripts, unpublished monographs, articles, notes, and biographical data

Anesthesia for the Pregnant Patient


The four main concerns of an anesthesiologist caring for a pregnant woman in surgery are physical reactions relating to the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and central nervous systems. Above all, blood and oxygen flow must be maintained to both the mother and the fetus in order for surgery to be safe when pregnant. If the mother experiences a drop in blood pressure or oxygen saturation, this is cause for concern for the safety of the fetus. Although concerns have been raised in the past about whether the use of nitrous oxide and benzodiazepines is safe when pregnant, no recent study has found any increased risk of congenital abnormalities or preterm labor. Doctors generally agree that inhaled and intravenous anesthetics and narcotics have a long history of being safe when pregnant

UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN MACHINE
A Primer for Bioengineering



This introductory book for undergraduate students poses a question: What is bioengineering all about? After offering a reference frame and defining the objectives (chapter 1), "physiology" (chapter 2) is presented as a source material followed by "signals" (chapter 3) and "signal pick up" (chapter 4). Chapter 5 deals with the biological amplifier. Reading the signal and the need for mathematical models are the subject matter, respectively, of chapters 6 and 7; they only provide guidance. The last chapter tries to look ahead. Sometimes, the subject is treated in relative depth; at times, the visit is more superficial. Formation rather than information is favored. Historical shots supply background material and spicy insights. Style is light, sprinkled with a little humor. There are exercises which allow students to learn independently.

Contents:
Source: Physiological Systems and Levels
Signals: What They Are
Signal Pick Up
Biological Amplifier
The Interpreter: Reading the Signals
Feedback: The Need of Mathematical Models

Positioning Techniques in Surgical Applications



Positioning a patient for surgery requires great care and caution. Correct positioning provides the surgeon with good access to the site, minimizes blood loss and reduces the risk of damage to nerves, soft tissue, compartments and the cardio-pulmonary system. Each position has its specific risks. These have to be evalued against the benefits.
The success of an operation depends not only on careful clarification of the indications, selection of the right time for operating and proper operating techniques, but also correct preoperative preparation and positioning of the patient. This work presents safe positioning techniques, which cover the various different surgical disciplines by means of detailed descriptions and more than 450 full-colored illustrations. New techniques, new instruments and devices, developed for example for minimally invasive surgery, or concealed surgical procedures with indirect visualization techniques, are considered.

Hypertension: Principles and Practice



Hypertension is a common medical condition. The World Health Organisation classify a patient as hypertensive if a series of blood pressure recordings reveal values greater than 160/100. It is important to investigate and treat persistent hypertension for a variety of reasons. The long term end organ effects are numerous and add significantly to patient morbidity and mortality. Ensuring cardiovascular stability and pre-optimisation of blood pressure allows us to manipulate physiology and pharmacology more safely during anaesthesia.
It is necessary to understand the physiology of blood pressure control and how this is affected by anaesthesia.. The physiology of ageing is also an important component of blood pressure control as the arterial system becomes increasingly rigid secondary to arteriosclerosis..
Organized in a reader-friendly format, this reference collects a vast amount of information on the underlying mechanisms of hypertension and applies them to day-to-day clinical practices -- focusing on recent developments in patient management, as well as the molecular, biological, physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological facets of hypertension. The guide presents evidence-based information and offers practical approaches to the treatment of the disease. It provides key points and summaries at the beginning of each chapter, illustrations, algorithms, tables, and charts that clarify and highlight critical data, and management and treatment options for general and special populations.

Postoperative Pain Management-
Good Clinical Practice



General recommendations and principles for successful pain management.Prepared by a group of experts in cooperation with European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy.
Effective postoperative pain management has a humanitarian role, but there are additional medical and economic benefits for rapid recovery and discharge from hospital. A number of factors contribute to effective postoperative pain management including a structured acute pain management team, patient education, regular staff training, use of balanced analgesia, regular pain assessment using specific assessment tools and adjustment of strategies to meet the needs of special patient groups, such as children and the elderly. Recent advances in pain control provide greater potential for effective postoperative management.
This document reflects the opinions of a panel of European anaesthesiologists. Its aims are to raise awareness of recent advances in pain control and to provide advice on how to achieve effective postoperative analgesia. The recommendations and advice are general principles of pain management and do not provide detailed advice for specific surgical procedures.

designed to complement and not replace them. Liver transplantation has developed rapidly over the last two decades and dogma is changing rapidly. This leads to controversy and debate which are the essence of academic medicine. We are also aware that different transplant programs have their own approach to managing patients. It is inevitable that many views and arguments cannot be put in such a book as this one. Where possible, we have tried to provide a consensus view. We have provided selected references for further reading and electronic addresses to source material, for the reader who wishes to probe deeper into any aspect of liver transplantation.

Hepatitis C Virus: From Laboratory to Clinic





Hepatitis C infects 170 million people worldwide and has been labeled the ‘silent epidemic’ since it is asymptomatic for years after infection. This multidisciplinary overview covers basic concepts related to the discovery of the virus, development of serological and nucleic acid tests to detect infection, the structure of the virus genome, generation of virus gene products, and proposed replication scheme. It then goes on to introduce the epidemiology, transmission,
pathogenesis of infection, the development of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with chronic virus infection, and current strategies for treatment. The book then discusses advances in cell culture systems, animal models of infection, and emerging treatments and vaccine development.
Through its coverage of basic science, clinical consequences, and methods of research, this integrated and accessible account will be of immense value to biomedical scientists and clinicians alike, and a useful introduction for all those studying the virus and its effects.

Cerebral Monitoring in the OR and ICU

The evaluation of an ICU patient’s degree of consciousness has taken on great importance. The problem of unintended intraoperative rivival and compensation has resulted in the need for monitoring the level of unconsciousness with instruments that measure the patient’s cerebral activity rather than vital signs (arterial pressure, cardiac rate, tear secretion, etc.). In addition, the need for salvaging organs for transplantation requires the anesthesiologist to understand cerebral mechanisms to diagnose brain death before the disappearance of vital signs which renders the organs useless fortransplantation. In the final analysis the physician has had
to change his vision of cortical activity considered, if notstrictly indispensible, at least of secondary importance relative to the hemodynamic consequences to the patient.
The problem is even more complex in those nations where the teaching of anesthesia and reanimation is combined, presenting the physician with the twofold chore of cerebral monitoring to prevent intraoperative awakening and to detect brain death.
This comprehensive volume will serve as a complete guide to the clinical application of computer assisted systems in monitoring central nervous functions both in the OR and ICU. It presents practical guidelines and therapeutic indications for computerized EEG and Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) monitoring for the experienced user as well as the novice, leading the newcomer step-by-step to a level of advanced monitoring.

Vital Signs and Resuscitation



Vital signs are an essential part of the physical examination of almost every
patient (some crusty practitioners would say every patient). An important responsibility of the health professional is to take them accurately. A second, and
frequently neglected, one is to promptly notify someone when an abnormality
exists, such as the elderly male who presents with severe chest and back pain
and high systolic and diastolic pressures (possibly having an aortic dissection),
or the elderly person presenting with abdominal pain and hypotension (possibly
having a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm).
This book is written for anyone taking vital signs: doctor, resident, intern,
medical student, nurse, practical nurse, nursing assistant, home health practitioner, emergency medical technician (EMT), as well as medical office and nursing home personnel, the fire fighter and in some cases the dental and x-ray technician.

Manual of Epidural Analgesia from Univeristy of Wisconsin-madison

Analgesia is now recognized as a significant contributor toclinical outcomes
The goal for pain management is to providethe best analgesia with the least amount of side effects.
Epidural analgesia is a desirable method of pain relief because it provides true
segmental analgesia with little or no contribution from systemic levels of opioids All of which may lead to excellentanalgesia with minimal side effects .
Caring for patients who receive epidural analgesia requires specialized knowledge regarding the placement of the epidural catheter, management of the therapy, and monitoring for potential side effects/complications ,This self-directed learning
module is essential information for the nurse clinician who cares
for patients receiving epidural analgesia.
