Complications in Anesthesia

---

The second edition of Complications in Anesthesia, like its first edition, is intended to provide all practitioners of anesthesia and critical care medicine with a comprehensive source of information for most complications that might be faced in clinical practice. Topics are addressed in ten sections: Pharmacology; General Anesthesia; Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management; Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery; Physiologic Imbalance and Coexisting Disease; Equipment and Monitoring; Pediatrics and Neonatology; Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, and ENT; Other Surgical Subspecialties (subdivided into Obstetrics and Gynecology, General Surgery, Urologic Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery); and Special Topics (subdivided into Postanesthesia Care Unit, Diagnostic or Therapeutic Intervention, and Medicolegal Aspects).

Section Editors were selected based on their special expertise and knowledge of the topics addressed in each section. Each chapter is presented in a highly structured format (in accordance with problem-based learning) under the following headings and subheadings: Case Synopsis, Problem Analysis (divided into Definition, Recognition, Risk Assessment, Implications),Management, and Prevention; in chapters with more than one topic, each topic is addressed using the same headings. Schematics, figures, and tables are used liberally to illustrate key points or to summarize important information. Key references are listed at the end of each
chapter under “Further Reading,” avoiding in-text citations that might distract the reader. Some chapters contain footnotes that provide further explanations. In this way, the reader can gain useful insight into a topic of interest in the minimal amount of time and with maximal retention. Also, thumb indexing and liberal cross-referencing are intended to reduce the need for time-consuming index searches. Finally, under Further Reading, in text, or in footnotes, there are references to Web sites for more or updated information. In that
way, the reader can keep abreast of new developments.

I hope this unconventional treatment of complications in anesthesia and critical care will serve several purposes: first, to permit quick location and researching of topics of interest to busy practitioners in the least amount of time; second, to organize the thought processes involved in medical decisionmaking in an attractive format—i.e., akin to Sherlock Holmes’ “who done it?”; and third and most importantly, to reduce
the risk to our patients for unexpected and untoward events.
