Product Description

This practical reference is a comprehensive guide to the anesthetic and perioperative management of patients during all procedures performed by general and subspecialist surgeons. The book explains each procedure from the surgeon's and anesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anesthetic technique, and guides the anesthesiologist through the decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery. The third edition has outsold its predecessors and has already exceeded LWW's LOE expectations. The Fourth Edition will be the first edition in full color.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Anesthesiology -- Praise for the previous edition:
"...an excellent reference book ... suitable for all levels of anesthesia providers ... I would strongly recommend this book."--Anesthesiology


Anesthesia & Analgesia, Volume 99 -- "An essential manual for anesthesiologists. The editors do an excellent job of bringing the perspectives of both anesthesia and surgery to each procedure, and includes more than 700 procedures. A significant addition to this edition is chapters devoted to office based anesthesia and emergency procedures. An excellent reference book that should be found on every anesthesiologist's shelf."---Anesthesia & Analgesia

Great for Operating Room Personnel5
Excellent resource for Operating personnel relating to surgical aspects of positioning and other surgical implications. A must for OR educators.

Title is deceiving...2
Having been in practice for the last 25 years, I have seen a few of the procedures described in this book. (And then some.) Now teaching at the university level, I try to find textbooks that embody what the cover suggests. As for Jaffe's book: the accuracy is fair, but the way in which it is written is rather insulting to the anesthesiologist's intelligence. This book puts the emphasis on the surgeon's role and viewpoint as being paramount. There is a noticable lack of patient safety and comfort that is considered. This is, after all, why we are there. For documentation of specific surgical protocol, this is a reasonable text. For actual practice, there are better sources of information. Most who have been through residency know the ones I mean. Either change the name to "Surgical Procedures from the Surgeon's Point of View" or add information that would provide insight thus allowing the anesthesia practitioner to tailor their anesthetic to enhance the patient's overall surgical/anesthetic experience.

Happy Anesthesiologist5
I used this book continuously throughout my residency. It is a very useful tool for perioperative management of patients. I still reference it during practice for those cases that I do not do routinely. It is an excellent reference.
