Vascular Anesthesia

Kaplan (anesthesiology, University of Louisville) details anesthetic approaches used for vascular surgical patients and for patients with cardiac disease who are undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The book covers essential knowledge on cardiovascular anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology; preoperative assessment and management; specific perioperative considerations; and postoperative management. Throughout, cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology are incorporated into discussions of patient management during different vascular surgical procedures. This second edition is revised and expanded to reflect advances in the field since 1991.
