Description
Induced Hypotension techniques have gained as many enthusiasts in the anaesthesia field as it has antagonists. The authors propose that the techniques involved have much to offer patients and surgeons alike and could enjoy greater use. The book represents a review of the physiological basis, the pharmacological options and clinical applications of the various methods. Many anaesthesiologists reduce blood pressure as an adjunct to normal techniques and see this as an advantage. This book carries on from here, advising how with careful control and detailed knowledge of what they are doing, surgical access can be further improved. Apart from sections giving an oversight on basic principles, a series of experienced anaesthesiologists working in the field have been asked to render their advice on problems encountered and to outline methods they have developed as being best for them.
