Beschreibung
This book describes the techniques, strategies, and drugs that have been demonstrated by well-documented randomized trials to influence survival in the perioperative setting. It takes into consideration all types of adult surgery and will be relevant to the evaluation of any patient undergoing an operative procedure. Each chapter focuses on a specific procedure, device, or drug. The scope is accordingly wide, with coverage of topics as diverse as chlorhexidine oral rinse, clonidine therapy, insulin infusion, intra-aortic balloon pump support, leukodepletion, neuraxial anesthesia, and noninvasive respiratory support, to name but a few. In addition, the risks and benefits of using a web-based consensus process (as in this book) to identify effective means of reducing perioperative mortality are discussed. The clear text is supported by "how to do" sections and "key points" boxes that provide easily accessible practical information. Written by acknowledged international experts, Reducing Mortality in the Perioperative Period will be of interest for a wide variety of specialists, including surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and intensivists.
With valuable multidisciplinary guidance for all clinicians involved in caring for surgery patients, this volume offers invaluable advice on techniques, strategies and drugs known to have a positive impact on patient survival in all types of adult surgery.

From the book reviews:
“The book reviews the published evidence about various techniques shown to improve perioperative survival. It provides an excellent summary of the evidence that should be known by every practitioner caring for surgical patients.” (Carlos A. Pelaez, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2014)
