About this book
Perioperative Medicine uses a concise, highly practical, bulleted format designed to ensure rapid comprehension of key concepts and reinforce the reader's understanding of complex topics in perioperative medicine. It contains authoritative, up-to-date coverage of the most essential concepts in perioperative care from preoperative risk assessment to postoperative follow-up. The Editor and his contributors use their expert insight and experience to provide an in-depth review of comorbid conditions, patient and surgery-specific risk assessment, and common postoperative complications.
This new book reviews recent developments in the field, including published guidelines, and emphasizes an evidence-based, cost-effective approach designed to ensure quality, patient safety, and optimal outcomes. It is intended for use by hospitalists, general internists and subspecialists as well as anesthesiologists, surgeons, and residents in training who are caring for patients before and after surgery.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This review of perioperative care stresses how to best manage the medical issues of patients based on the available evidence to minimize surgical risks. The bulleted format makes it very easy to glean important information. … is primarily directed at those who take care of these patients either before or after surgery. Anyone involved in patient care -- surgeons, internists, or anesthesiologists -- will find it helpful. … This well-done book covers all the important topics with just the right amount of detail.” (Tariq M.
