Anaesthesia for vascular surgery

"This book serves to fulfil the needs of trainee and practising anaesthetists needing to learn the skills involved in the anaesthetic management of patients undergoing vascular surgery, or being exposed to other types of surgery while suffering from vascular disease. The text discusses the underlying medical considerations for vascular surgery and anaesthesia, and integrates these with clinical practice. Written chiefly by anaesthetists with particular expertise in this area, it also includes contributions from basic scientists, vascular surgeons and vascular physicians emphasizing the need for a collaborative clinical approach to patient care." "Covering pre-operative assessment, choice of anaesthetic technique, intra-operative management and post-operative care, and giving consideration to imminent and future developments in anaesthesia and vascular surgery, Anaesthesia for Vascular Surgery will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of the anaesthetist in training or in practice."--BOOK JACKET.
