Pediatric Anesthesia A Quick Pocket Reference

The administration of pediatric anesthesia is a delicate procedure that requires extreme care. Providing the correct dosage, using the best method, is based on many factors, including size, weight, and age of the patient. Like the First Edition of this work, this updated version will provide easy access to pertinent clinical information for anesthesiologists dealing with young patients. Compact and handy, the Second Edition features expanded information on blood and blood products, intraoperative temperature control, and regional anesthesia. There is also a new chapter on perioperative pain management. The First Edition was well received and has been praised for its handy size and its skillful use of charts, tables and numbered lists, which make information easy to locate in a hurry.
