Anesthesia for Spine Surgery

Description

The increased complexity of spinal surgical procedures in recent years has required more sophisticated anesthetic management of patients undergoing these procedures. Spine surgery anesthesia is now recognized as a distinct sub-specialty, increasingly undertaken by general anesthesiologists as well as neuroanesthesiologists. Anesthesia for Spine Surgery describes the anesthetic management and surgical procedures at every vertebral level in both adult and pediatric patients.

The most important related considerations are covered, including:

• Postoperative pain management
• One lung ventilation during anterior thoracic spine surgery Intraoperative neuromonitoring
• Fluid management

Additional chapters review the radiological features of normal and abnormal spines, common complications of spine surgery and ASA closed claims relating to spine surgery anesthesia. Written by highly experienced neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons, Anesthesia for Spine Surgery is essential reading for trainee and practising anesthesiologists, neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons.

Features

• The first comprehensive review of spine surgery anesthesia available
• Highly illustrated with black and white and color images
• Anesthetic management of both the pediatric patient and the adult patient
• Written by world-renowned clinicians ensuring an up-to-date, authoritative text
