Description

The only definitive text on cardiac anaesthesia is back in a new edition!


Dr. Kaplan and a multitude of other eminent specialists have completely updated and revised the 5th Edition of this definitive text on cardiac anesthesia.

Since the last edition in 1998, anaesthetists have lacked an authoritative text. But now with an extended editorial board including David Reich, Carol Lake, and Steven Konstadt – all internationally respected authors in their own right – this new edition provides a comprehensive overview of cardiac anaesthesia.

This new edition provides up-to-date information on the latest techniques, together with essential guidance for readers administering anesthesia to cardiac surgery patients as well as cardiac patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Key features

  • Features detailed coverage of cardiovascular and coronary physiology, and the latest advances in molecular biology and inflammatory response mechanisms.
  • Offers the latest "know-how" on perioperative assessment and management, including state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques.
