Understanding the Numbers in Depth of Anesthesia Monitors now available

Understanding the Numbers in Depth of Anesthesia Monitors by Ashraf A. Dahaba Is there a unified definition of anesthesia? What exactly are we monitoring? Processed electroencephalography (pEEG) monitors may not reliably assess all anesthetic endpoints. This book explains how anesthesiologists should not blindly follow the displayed numbers when they adjust their anesthetic agents' doses. This book is based on the author's 30 years of experience researching the topic of Depth of Anesthesia (DOA) monitoring. Depth of Anesthesia monitors are pEEG Monitors. All conditions that would alter the EEG (these are many) would also alter the DOA displayed numbers so each reader should learn how to correctly interpret the displayed numbers. In many instances physicians are confronted with various paradoxical Depth of Anesthesia monitors displaying inaccurate readings that do not concur with "clinically judged Anesthetic state" whether arising from an underlying pathophysiology alteration of the patients' own EEG cerebral function or those due to shortcomings in the performance and design of the DoA. This book - very easy to read although the topic sounds very complicated - would like to represent a reference where anesthesiologists can go back to when they are confronted with such situations. Each chapter is focused on one contributing element that could influence depth of anesthesia monitoring. It reports cases or studies of displayed numbers that do not concur with clinically assessed depth of anesthesia; these are immediately followed by the documented scientific EEG explanations. A book that both younger and older anesthetists should read to better understand how to use DOA monitors in their daily practice and that very much simplifies the topic. jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) ISBN: 9783031882593 Publication Date: 2025-05-29 ...

Case Studies of near Misses in Clinical Anesthesia now available

Case Studies of near Misses in Clinical Anesthesia by John G. Brock-Utne All anesthesiologists eventually face the fear of a "near miss," when a patient's life has been put at risk.nbsp; Learning from the experience is crucial to professionalism and the ongoing development of expertise. Drawing on forty-plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, John Brock-Utne, MD presents 80 carefully selected cases that provide the basis for lessons and tips to prevent potential disaster. nbsp;The cases emphasize problem-centered learning and span a broad range of topics--from an outbreak of operating room infection (could it be the anesthesia equipment?), nbsp;complications of fiberoptic intubations, nbsp;and problems with epidural drug pumps, to performing an urgent tracheostomy for the first time, working with an aggressive surgeon, and what to do when a patient falls offnbsp; the operating table during surgery.nbsp;nbsp;80 true-story clinical "near misses" never before published, ideal for problem-centered learning, recommendations, references, and discussions accompany most cases, rich basis for teaching discussions both in or out of the operating room, settings include sophisticated as well as rudimentary anesthetic environments, complements the author's other case book, Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned (Springer, 2008). jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) ISBN: 9781441911780 Publication Date: 2011-08-09 ...
