Cohen’s Comprehensive Thoracic Anesthesia

Description:


Ideal for clinicians at all levels of experience-from the resident to the subspecialist-Cohen’s Comprehensive Thoracic Anesthesia compiles the many recent advances in thoracic anesthesiology into one convenient, easy-to-use reference. Concise, clinically focused chapters written by international authorities in the field cover all facets of anesthesia practice for thoracic procedures, logically organized by preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations. 

 

Key Features:

• Discusses new devices for lung isolation, new lung protection protocols, new information on post-operative complications, and new drugs for modulating pulmonary circulation. 
• Covers 20 key procedures including tracheal resection, esophagectomy, mediastinoscopy, mediastinal mass, SVC syndrome, and more. 
• Describes complex surgeries related to the lungs, pleura, diaphragm, and esophagus. 
• Provides case studies and clinical vignettes to illustrate and support case management decisions. 
• Offers highly practical guidance for quick reference from editor Dr. Edmond Cohen and a team of expert contributing authors from around the world. 
• Features extensive illustrations throughout, including clinical photos and drawings, radiographic images, device images, charts, and graphs.
