This resource stands as the only authoritative text to specifically focus on developments and best practices in anesthesiology for procedures affecting the gastrointestinal tract and related appendages. This book provides in-depth coverage of topics such as risk assessment, stress response, and scoring, as well as spans anesthetic trends and practices for endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures, as well as a variety of invasive procedures including hepatobiliary, pancreatic, colorectal, colonic, and abdominal surgeries.
"…we have long needed…an authoritative text devoted to these areas of practice and now we have it….I am particularly pleased to see whole chapters devoted to preassessment, preoptimization and perioperative fluid management, all crucial areas and ones which are sadly often inadequately considered….
"…I can see this book being a valuable addition to the library of any anaesthetist who regularly works with a gastrointestinal surgeon. Not only that, but it will also be of value to non-medical anaesthetists, theatre practitioners, nurses and even surgeons. I am honoured to have been asked to be a (very small) part of it."
