Textbook of High-Acuity Anesthesia

Ready for the crisis. Know the next step before the case turns.

When a patient has no reserve left, the next sixty seconds belong to the anesthesiologist who prepared. Textbook of High-Acuity Anesthesia teaches you to read risk before induction and to act in order when the case turns, across trauma, sepsis, obstetric and pediatric emergencies and the comorbidities that make them dangerous.

What you get inside

• 300 review questions, a set after each chapter, with all answers and explanations at the back
