Comprehensive, readable, and clinically oriented, Stoelting's Pharmacology & Physiology in Anesthetic Practice, Sixth Edition, covers all aspects of pharmacology and physiology that are relevant either directly or indirectly to the anesthetic practice—a challenging topic that is foundational to the practice of anesthesia and essential to master. This systems-based, bestselling text has been thoroughly updated by experts in the field, giving you the detailed information needed to make the most informed clinical decisions about the care of your patients.

This is an introduction to the patient monitoring technologies that are used in today's acute care environments, including the operating room, recovery room, emergency department, intensive care unit, and telemetry floor. To a significant extent, day-to-day medical decision-making relies on the information provided by these technologies, yet how they actually work is not always addressed during education and training. The editors and contributors are world-renowned experts who specialize in developing, refining, and testing the technology that makes modern-day clinical monitoring possible. Their aim in creating the book is to bridge the gap between clinical training and clinical practice with an easy to use and up-to-date guide. · How monitoring works in a variety of acute care settings· For any healthcare professional working in an acute care environment· How to apply theoretical knowledge to real patient situations· Hemodynamic, respiratory, neuro-, metabolic, and other forms of monitoring· Information technologies in the acute care setting· New and future technologies

Lebensbedrohliche Situationen im Operationssaal und auf der Intensivstation können nur bei exakter Diagnostik entsprechend therapiert werden. Eine umfassende apparative Überwachung hat sich in der Sorge um den bewußtlosen bzw. schwerstkranken Patienten neben der kontinuierlichen klinischen Beurteilung durch die fünf Sinne des behandelnden Arztes als unbedingt notwendig erwiesen. Die Ausweitung des Monitorings unter Einschluß elektronischer Meßgrößen und'intelligenter'Verarbeitung hat es ermöglicht, die Grenzen der operativen Medizin und der Intensivmedizin zu erweitern. Zweck dieses Buches über ein umfassendes Monitoring im OP und auf der Intensivstation ist es, Überwachungsparameter und -techniken aus beiden Bereichen und die Prinzipien, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Überwachung zu präsentieren.

Neben den Grundlagen des Monitorings in Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin werden die Mindesterfordernisse der Patientenüberwachung bei Operationen sowie die gesetzlichen Aspekte (jeweils für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz) und die Qualitätskontrolle beschrieben. Den Hauptteil des Buches nimmt die systembezogene Überwachung ein: die verschiedenen Überwachungsmöglichkeiten bei Herz/Kreislauf, Atmung, Gehirn; des weiteren: spezifische Probleme wie Narkosetiefe, neuromuskuläres System und insbesondere das biochemische Monitoring. Der letzte Teil befaßt sich mit speziellen Bereichen (Regionalanästhesie, Neuroanästhesie) und Risikogruppen (Patienten mit koronarer Herzkrankheit, Kinder).

Considerato da molti il testo più completo sui concetti teorici e pratici dell'anestesiologia, Miller Anestesia è giunto ormai alla 6a edizione. Come le edizioni passate, il testo è suddiviso in sezioni che trattano i concetti teorici e pratici dell'anestesiologia moderna. L'introduzione, incentrata sulla storia dell'anestesiologia dall'antichità ai giorni nostri, costituisce un ottimo spunto. La sezione relativa alle scienze di base (Sezione II) si occupa dei principi farmacologici di base, delle singole classi farmacologiche e della fisiologia. Include inoltre alcuni capitoli sui sistemi di somministrazione dei farmaci, sulle terapie alternative e complementari e sulla statistica. Seguono poi le sezioni dedicate all'anestesiologia clinica e argomenti correlati. Il testo è accompagnato da tavole a colori relative alle procedure di anestesia locoregionale e all'ecocardiografia transesofagea. Questa edizione è arricchita di nuovi capitoli molto significativi, che riflettono l'importanza dei recenti progressi medici e sociali in relazione all'anestesiologia. I capitoli già presenti nelle precedenti edizioni sono stati aggiornati con ulteriori approfondimenti. Un'ulteriore novità di questa 6a edizione è la e-dition, un sito web correlato al testo nel quale esperti del settore pubblicheranno continui aggiornamenti in lingua inglese.
