Summary

This volume in The Requisites in Anesthesiology Series concisely presents all of the knowledge essential to the safe practice of pediatric anesthesia. It covers everything from general pediatric physiology and pharmacology principles through important pediatric diseases; preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care; anesthesia for a full range of specific surgical procedures; and critical care. Case studies in each chapter demonstrate the clinical relevance of the material and test readers' comprehension. Tightly focused, user-friendly chapters make it ideal both as a refresher for certification or recertification, and as a reference for everyday clinical practice.
