This book addresses those aspects of anaestheticpractice in perioperative medicine which have a significant impact on both theimmediate and the long-term outcome for the surgical patient. PerioperativeMedicine is the natural evolution of anaesthesia from a main focus on thepatient in the operating room to a responsibility for the care of the patientfrom the time that the decision to operate is made, through to discharge fromhospital. The contributors, well-respected authors in their field, discuss therole of the perioperative medicine specialist in areas ranging frompre-operative assessment and physiological optimization via pre-habilitation,to intra-operative anaesthetic management, and post-operative care.Controversial topics discussed include fluid therapy, anaesthesia and canceroutcomes, pharmacological management of cardiac risk, and the evolution ofacute to chronic pain. Developments in regional anaesthesia, quality ofrecovery scoring, and lung ultrasound, are described.

It is hoped that the chapters contained in this bookwill help to define the nascent specialty that is Perioperative Medicine, andencourage further debate, research, and expansion of this vital new frontier inanaesthetic care.

Karen Stuart-Smith was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, and graduated in Physiology and Medicine from the University of Glasgow. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and has enjoyed a long career as a clinical anaesthetist. Early training in cardiorespiratory research led to an enthusiasm for applying scientific methodology to clinical practice, and she is also a passionate believer in the role of clinical audit in assessing the quality of patient care. Karen presently resides in New Zealand, where she continues to practice as an anaesthetist and enjoys the outdoor lifestyle in her spare time.
