Clinical Anesthesia Procedures of the Massachusetts General Hospital, 6th Edition

摘要

This 800-page softcover book is the latest edition of a best seller first published over 20 years ago. It can be called a handbook by any definition of the word. It emphasizes the clinical fundamentals involved in the safe administration of anesthesia, including pre-, post-, and perioperative care and patient evaluation as well as most aspects of pain management. Residents, fellows, staff, and alumni of the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at the Massachusetts General Hospital contributed to the writing, which complements detailed textbooks and journals but is not intended to replace experienced clinical teaching and actual hands-on experience or to be a substitute for in-depth study. The contents are based on sound physiology and pharmacology principles and contain much background information and theoretical material. Each chapter includes a reading list for those who desire additional information on a particular topic. The body of the text is not directly referenced.
