One major by-product of the aging baby-boom generation is a surging
interest in cosmetic surgery. Although procedures like facelifts and
abdominoplasties (the 'tummy-tuck') are considered minimally invasive,
the anesthetic protocols and regimens here are often overly complex and
unnecessarily toxic. This reference will focus on all of the procedures
that the anesthesiologist needs to be proficient in to adequately care
for this group of patients. Perioperative care and pain management will
be covered for the full spectrum of operations, and there will be
special emphasis on level-of-consciousness monitoring of these patients.
