A new textbook of pediatric anesthesiology - modeled after the bestselling Morgan and Mikhail's Clinical Anesthesiology.

Filling a void in the anesthesiology literature, this new text delivers streamlined yet comprehensive discussion of the unique aspects and considerations necessary to successfully manage pediatric patients.

For each procedure covered, there is a review of equipment, technique, alternatives, and ways to manage complications or troubleshoot errors. A complete multi-media resource, LANGE Clinical Pediatric Anesthesiology includes a link to 50 videos depicting key pediatric anesthetic procedures. This unique resource is ideal for trainees and practitioners who have limited time and need a solution to a specific clinical problem. Sections include: Basic Science, Pharmacology, Anesthetic Practice, Procedures, and Special Considerations.
