Managing Complications in Paediatric Anaesthesia
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-316-62910-9 (ISBN)
Committed to providing safe anaesthetic care for paediatric patients, it is of paramount importance for clinicians to learn from suboptimal situations in order to continuously improve clinical performance. The first resource of its kind, this text analyses a selection of fascinating case studies and evaluates best practice in providing safe anaesthesia to children with recommendations on how to avoid the most common clinical pitfalls. Featuring over seventy chapters, topics include airway-related problems, vascular access, regional anaesthesia, medication related problems and the management of patients with pre-existing conditions. Each case study is supported by full colour images, making this essential reading for consultants and trainees in anaesthesia.
Martin Jöhr was the leader of Paediatric Anaesthesia at the Department of Anaesthesiology at the Luzerner Kantonsspital, Lucerne, Switzerland. With over forty years of hands-on experience, he is now dedicated to teaching and writing extensively on the topic of paediatric anaesthesia.
