Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease and Handbook for Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease Package

Two of the fields most respected leaders provide critical knowledge on the medical implications of co-existing pathophysiology on the management of anesthesia. Organized by disease, the 4th Edition of this popular guide has been completely revised and updated to reflect the most current information on definition, current pathophysiology, significant pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors of the disease process, anesthetic judgement, and management. Common diseases are discussed in detail, while rare diseases receive attention based on unique features that could be of importance in the perioperative period.

THE HANDBOOK
This practical handbook distills all the critical information from its parent text, Anesthesia and Co-existing Disease, 4th Edition, into a portable and convenient guide. An outline format makes reference easier and the same chapter organization headings as Anesthesia and Co-existing Disease quickly direct the reader to more in-depth information. Indispensable for reference in the operating room, it covers a wide range of the pre-existing conditions in surgical patients that may impact their perioperative management.
