Description
This textbook provides coverage of intravenous anaesthesia, with its outpatient and ambulatory applications. The background and scientific basis for intravenous anaesthesia are discussed, as well as definitive clinical guidelines for anaesthesia, analgesia, sedation, and patient-controlled delivery systems. The book covers children, geriatrics and critically-ill patients, providing complete coverage of all classes of drugs used for IV purposes, and of balanced-anaesthesia. Definitive guidelines for the monitoring of patients during and after the administration of agents are given. The text also includes techniques, contra-indications, complications and recovery times by type of drug, and by type of surgical procedure, with heavy coverage of drugs, cathers and infusion delivery systems.
