Anesthesia and uncommon diseases


This revision of the 1998 text edited by Dr. Jonathan Benumof presents new coverage of pediatric topics and updated information on less common cardiac, neurologic, genetic and metabolic diseases; morbid obesity; trauma and acute care; pregnancy complications; geriatric patients; and those taking herbal remedies. A chapter treats bioterrorism-induced infectious diseases. Fleisher (U. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) introduces 21 chapters by US experts providing needed guidance on the specialized anesthetic management that may be required for such disorders. Chapters include preoperative and postoperative considerations to avoid complications, patient photos, and two-color graphics. Previous editions appeared between 1973 and 1990.
