Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

MASTER THE SCIENCE BEHIND SAFE, EVIDENCE-BASED ANESTHESIA

Advanced Pharmacology & Physiology in Anesthetic Practice is a comprehensive academic reference designed to connect advanced drug action with the physiological responses that shape modern anesthetic and perioperative care.

Rather than treating pharmacology and physiology as separate subjects, this book integrates both disciplines to help readers understand how anesthetic agents interact with cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, renal, hepatic, endocrine, and neuromuscular systems.

Inside, readers will explore:

- Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics- Receptor mechanisms and dose-response relationships- Intravenous and inhalational anesthetics- Opioids, local anesthetics, and analgesic pharmacology- Neuromuscular blocking agents and reversal drugs- Vasopressors, inotropes, and cardiovascular medications- Cardiovascular and respiratory physiology- Cerebral, renal, hepatic, and endocrine responses- Drug interactions and adverse effects- Patient-specific considerations in age, obesity, pregnancy, organ dysfunction, and critical illness- Evidence-based principles for perioperative drug selection and physiological management

Designed for anesthesiology residents, nurse anesthesia students, CRNAs, physicians, pharmacists, advanced practice clinicians, educators, and graduate-level learners, this reference provides a structured foundation for both academic study and professional review.

Whether you are strengthening your understanding of anesthetic pharmacology, preparing for advanced training, or seeking a dependable clinical reference, this book offers the depth and integration needed to approach perioperative decision-making with greater confidence.

Build a stronger command of anesthetic pharmacology and physiology.
