Anesthetic Management for the Pediatric Airway

Advanced Approaches and Techniques

Herausgegeben: Preciado, Diego; Verghese, Susan

Beschreibung

The advancement of tactics used in managing pediatric airway disorders can be attributed to an overall growth of collective knowledge among medical health professionals. This book is designed to sustain that growth of knowledge, with 18 chapters of insight and information by distinguished medical experts in both pediatric anesthesia and pediatric otolaryngology. It concisely and thoroughly covers topics such as subglottic stenosis, pharyngeal airway obstruction, laryngeal airway obstruction, obesity and sleep apnea and thoracic airway obstruction, among others. Chapters include scenarios where the skills and expertise of both anesthesiologists and otolaryngologists are being continually tested; the use of newer drugs and repurposing of older drugs; the combination of smaller amounts of different types of sedatives while avoiding intra-op narcotics and maintaining spontaneous ventilation are described in detail; Finally, a comprehensive review of new research emerging about ultra-rapid narcotics metabolizers among patients, making them more susceptible to medications, such as codeine, along with the latest information on the purported potential neurodevelopmental toxicity of some anesthetic agents are also included. Working as both an educational tool and a practical resource, medical practitioners, students and educators will find this text to be a valuable tool for the safely managing the pediatric patient undergoing anesthesia for difficult airway scenarios.

Rezensionen

"Anesthetic Management for the Pediatric Airway: Advanced Approaches and Techniques would appeal only to anesthesiologists caring for children with complex airway pathology or undergoing airway surgery. ... Anesthesiologists specializing in this area may benefit from having a single comprehensive resource available on the topic." (Stephen Mannion, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (6), December, 2019)

"The information in the book is solid. ... the book describes standard approaches most pediatric anesthesiologists would incorporate into their daily practice in these scenarios. The book is well written and organized, ... . There are a few color photos that are pretty basic illustrations of setups/equipment and patient disease processes." (Sarena Nadine Teng, Doody's Book Reviews, June 21, 2019)
