Essentials of Cardiac Anesthesia for Noncardiac Surgery, 1st Edition

• Provides guidance on the anesthetic diagnosis and management of the full range of cardiac lesions, helping minimize adverse outcomes and reduce complications for patients with common, complex, or uncommon cardiac conditions.
• Includes complete coverage of echocardiography and current monitoring techniques needed for thorough perioperative assessment – all from the anesthesiologist’s perspective.
• Discusses safe and effective perioperative anesthetic management of patients presenting with advanced levels of cardiac care such as drug-eluting stents, multiple antiplatelet drugs, ventricular assist devices, multiple drugs for end-stage heart failure, and implanted electrical devices that produce cardiac resynchronization therapy, as well as patients with complicated obstetric problems or other significant cardiovascular issues.
• Features a concise, easy-to-navigate format and Key Points boxes in each chapter that help you find answers quickly.
• Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
