Summary

This practical, portable handbook provides comprehensive, up-to-date information for all clinicians who need to perform preoperative assessments. The emphasis on both the pathophysiology of disease states relevant to anesthesiology, and the history and physical examination required for diagnosis and laboratory testing gives readers the necessary tools to apply to patients in diverse practice settings. Detailed case studies, tables, and illustrations enhance the topics covered in the book. Other features include: chapters regarding risk assessment, data management, electronic medical records, and development of practice guidelines.
