Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Anesthesia PDF

Preface

Anesthetists usually acquire skills of anesthesia for gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery from their peers during training. The techniques are later modified and adopted depending on the circumstances and opportunities available. The purpose of this book is to improve the perioperative management of patients undergoing gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery. Anesthesia for gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery is not comprehensively covered in any textbook: While much topical material has recently appeared in journals, it has been scattered. In this book, we have brought this material together in a cohesive and organized fashion. The material in this book has been collated and written by acknowledged international experts skilled in specific areas relating to gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery. This book will be the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of material in the field. The multiple authors provide authoritative information on a broad and comprehensive scale that is not possible in a single medical institution. Each chapter aims to provide the scientific and clinical basis for anesthetic practice.

This book will appeal to all practicing anesthetists, as well as to trainees in anesthesia and surgery, clinical specialist nurses, and other health-care professionals involved in the care of patients undergoing gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery.
