Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Anesthesiology demands more than memorized protocols - it demands the kind of deep, mechanistic understanding that lets you reason correctly through the case your training didn't specifically prepare you for. The Essential Anesthesia Handbook 2026-2027 was built to deliver exactly that: a comprehensive, current, clinically rigorous reference spanning the full arc of perioperative care, from preoperative risk stratification through emergence, recovery, and discharge.This handbook reflects the guideline landscape as of 2026 - including the ASA's January 2026 update on regional analgesia for cardiothoracic, mastectomy, and abdominal surgery, and the ASRA Pain Medicine fifth-edition anticoagulation guidelines with their revised DOAC hold-time framework. It doesn't just tell you what to do; it explains why, so the reasoning transfers to scenarios this book never anticipated.Inside, you'll find: - Airway management, comprehensively covered - anatomy, difficult airway prediction, the ASA Difficult Airway Algorithm, video and direct laryngoscopy technique, awake fiberoptic intubation, rapid sequence induction, and emergency cricothyrotomy- Complete induction and maintenance pharmacology - IV induction agents, volatile anesthetics, opioids, neuromuscular blocking agents and reversal strategies (including sugammadex dosing by blockade depth), and local anesthetic pharmacology- Regional and neuraxial anesthesia, current through the 2025 ASRA anticoagulation guidelines - spinal, epidural, CSE, peripheral nerve blocks, and the 2026 ASA multimodal regional analgesia framework- Every major perioperative emergency, with step-by-step management tables - malignant hyperthermia, anaphylaxis, LAST, high spinal, intraoperative cardiac arrest, difficult airway crisis, and equipment failure- Special population coverage - pediatric, obstetric, geriatric, cardiac, obese/OSA, and ambulatory anesthesia, each with genuinely distinct management frameworks rather than simple dose adjustments- 71 detailed reference visuals - anatomical diagrams, decision algorithms, pharmacokinetic graphs, and clinical pathway charts placed exactly where you need them- Robust appendices - complete drug dosing tables, validated clinical scoring tools (ASA-PS, Mallampati, STOP-BANG, Apfel, RCRI, and more), normal lab and physiologic values, a 30+ term abbreviation list, and a full glossary Written for anesthesiology residents, CRNAs, AAs, SRNAs, practicing anesthesiologists, and medical students on anesthesia rotations, this handbook is designed to sit within arm's reach - during a busy call night, before an unfamiliar case, or while preparing for board examinations.Comprehensive.
