This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this text catches the specialty of anesthesia at what will probably prove to be the apex of its influence and recognition amongst the specialties of medicine. The scientific basis of the specialty is becoming increasingly well delineated. Anesthesiologists have established themselves in local, regional, and national forums as spokespersons not only for the specialty, but also for medicine in general. And the specialty at last may be emerging from the stereotype of a faceless, inarticulate, shy and retiring figure, whose outstanding characteristic was the cloying odor of diethel ether! Technology has moved into the specialty on seven league boots. Just as an example, the basic design of the anesthesia machine was stable between the early 1950s and certainly the late 1970s. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, our anesthesia machines are becoming intelligent, are utilizing heads-up displays, and are becoming more and more capable of writing the anesthesia record. Monitoring standards for anesthesia have burgeoned to the point that almost every aspect of the specialty is impinged upon by some rule and some "thou will or thou will not. " The importation and creation of terminology is exploding. In fact, one of the problems in updating this book was deciding when to stop. The author hopes that the goal of creating a snapshot in time through definitions of commonly used words and phrases has been achieved.
Download or read book Glossary of Anaesthetics written by John England and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training in anaesthetics, for practitioners, such as Nurses, Paramedics, Anaesthetic Technicians, and Perioperative Practitioners, is mostly of a practical nature. The theoretical aspects of anaesthesia are not, in the main, part of anaesthetic practitioner training, even though an understanding of such theoretical issues is expected, both by registration bodies, and by patients. This book helps to fill the gap between practice and theory, by presenting a glossary of terminology and concise definitions of many anaesthetic and related subjects, along with key scientific concepts which describe, among other things, what effects an anaesthetic regime has on a patient's physiology. Over 1,100 definitions and explanations are given for such diverse topics as Airway pressure Awake intubation CEPOD classifications Checking anaesthetic machines Arterial blood gases Difficult airway algorithms Drug bioavailability Heart failure Hypovolaemia Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation Minimum Alveolar Concentration Oxygen toxicity Rapid sequence induction Regional anaesthesia Respiratory failure Shock Properties of volatile agents Additionally, the appendices include detailed descriptions of some of those practical matters which form part of the core skill set of the anaesthetic practitioner. After mastering the contents of Glossary of Anaesthetics, the reader will be much better equipped to understand and communicate many of the principles of anaesthesia and, as a consequence, will become a safer and more confident professional.

Download or read book Anaesthesia A Very Short Introduction written by Aidan O'Donnell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do anaesthetists do? How does anaesthesia work? What are the risks? And how does the anaesthetist know if you are really asleep? Anaesthesia is a mysterious and sometimes threatening process. In this Very Short Introduction, Aidan O'Donnell takes the reader on a tour through the whole of the modern anaesthetic practice. He begins by explaining general anaesthesia: what it is, how it is produced, and how it differs from natural sleep and other forms of unconsciousness. He goes on to consider the main categories of anaesthetic drugs, including anaesthetic vapours, intravenous agents, muscle relaxants, and analgesics, together with explanations of how they work and what their purpose is. Set against the historical background of anaesthetic and surgical practice, O'Donnell examines the large role anaesthetists play in specialised areas such as intensive care medicine, pain medicine, and childbirth; and finally, he considers the risks of anaesthesia, putting in to context that anaesthesia is a very safe process. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
