Crisis Management in Anesthesiology

This indispensable volume features the CATALOG OF CRITICAL EVENTS IN ANESTHESIOLOGY, which comprises over 75% of the book. Readers will find a systematic compilation of emergency procedures for the kinds of crisis events that are encountered in routine practice. Designed to improve recognition of and response to crisis situations, this important section details the etiology, typical situations, methods for prevention, manifestations, similar events, and the complications to watch out for when handling a major crisis event.

"When we wrote the Foreword to the first edition of this book, I didn’t know that it would become a classic. It is still widely read in the anesthesiology and simulation communities...Many things have changed in the past 20 years that make a new edition of this pioneering text necessary."
Foreword by: Jeffrey B. Cooper, Professor of Anaesthesia, Harvard Medical School, Feb 2015
