Overview
Review of potential problems and solutions all anesthesiologists should be familiar with
Updated edition offers new cases on using general anesthesia on a patient who has had a recent eye operation, a case of a spinal fracture, extubating a patient in the ICU, and an introperative cold ischemic hand
Offers succinct case presentations that describe a problem and the solution, with each write-up concluded by a retrospective analysis examining whether the solution used was actually the best (or only) choice
Serves as an easy and practical way for the reader to gain familiarity with unexpected problems in clinical anesthesia
Residents, fellows, and practicing, certified registered nurse anesthetists will benefit from the retelling of these actual near misses, the solutions chosen at the time, and a retrospective analysis of those solutions that include tips for how the problems could have been avoided altogether or resolved differently
Used as an excellent study aid for the American Board of Anesthesiology oral exam and a useful teaching tool for faculty

About this book
Those familiar with the 1st edition of this book from 2008 will recognize the original 62 cases that have been modernized with updated references and enjoy the addition of 41 brand new cases. Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned, 2nd edition is a collection of actual cases, complied from the author’s forty years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway and South Africa. It offers the reader succinct case presentations describing a problem on one page and a solution on the next, with a discussion, other potential solutions with satisfactory outcomes, and tips to help avoid problems altogether when possible. Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned, 2nd edition serves as an easy and practical way for the reader to gain familiarity with potentially unexpected problems in clinical anesthesia
In addition, this can be an excellent study aid for the American Board of Anesthesiology oral exam. Since near misses are relatively rare, there really is no way to be prepared to successfully manage such crises other than reading about them, so residents, fellows, and practicing, certified registered nurse anesthetists will benefit from the learning of these actual near misses. Additionally, faculty will find the plethora of discussion topics for large or small group settings an ideal way to communicate anesthesia and clinical care problems to the audience.
