Beschreibung
Although near-miss situations are fortunately rare in anesthesiology, it is essential to know how to respond if these situations arise. This collection of actual cases, compiled from the author’s thirty-five plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, is an excellent review of potential problems and solutions all anesthesiologists should be familiar with. Succinct case presentations describe a problem and the solution, with each write-up concluded by a retrospective analysis examining whether the solution used was actually the best (or only) choice. Other solutions and equally satisfactory outcomes are explored, and tips to help avoid problems altogether are presented where possible. This book may therefore serve as either an excellent review for the American Board of Anesthesiology’s oral exam or as an easy and practical way for the reader to gain familiarity with unexpected problems in clinical anesthesia.
Although near-miss situations are relatively rare in anesthesiology, it is essential to know how to respond if the situation arises. Compiled from the author’s 30+ years practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the US, Sweden and South Africa, this collection of actual cases offers an excellent review of potential problems and solutions all anesthesiologists should know. The cases are succinct. The problem is described on one page and the solution on the next as well as a retrospective analysis that examines whether the solution used was actually the best (or only) choice or if other solutions might have provided equally satisfactory outcomes. Also included in the analyses are tips to help avoid the problem altogether, when possible. This book is an excellent review for the ABA oral exam and is an easy and practical way to prepare for the unexpected in the daily practice of clinical anesthesia.
