A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Review of the first edition: 'Core Topics in Airway Management concisely covers all the basics and some of the unique areas in airway management ... Key, groundbreaking, clinically relevant material is presented in a clear and succinct manner, with salient points bulleted at the end of each chapter along with further reading suggestions ... In summary, Core Topics in Airway Management is exactly what it says it is, a textbook that provides succinct and useful information on airway management that is required by a wide spectrum of health care professionals, independent of the reader's medical discipline or training level. This text provides a foundation for the multispecialty approach to airway management. Readers are offered an easy to read book on airway management, containing many pearls of practical wisdom.' Carin Hagberg, Anesthesia and Analgesia

'I was impressed with the review of physiology and the willingness of editors and authors to describe areas of controversy in acute airway management ... an excellent introduction to a central topic in anesthesiology and acute medicine.' Doody's Notes

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book provides an easy-to-read introduction to this important topic that will be of value to a wide spectrum of healthcare professionals including anaesthetists, intensivists, ODPs, theatre and recovery nurses. Concise but comprehensive chapters from experts in the field cover everything from basic anatomy, physiology and applied physics, through the various methods of maintaining the airway under anaesthesia (supraglottic devices, tracheal intubation, tubes/cuffs, endobronchial and double-lumen tubes) to the problem airway (obstruction by infection, tumour or a foreign body, ENT and maxillo-facial surgery, aspiration, obstetrics, trauma, cervical spine disease, intensive care, the 'lost' airway, extubation and recovery), the paediatric airway, disinfection and cleaning of equipment and finally morbidity, mortality and medico-legal issues. 'Real' clinical scenarios, with patient management questions and model answers, are included throughout, to bring to life some of the key problems encountered in day-to-day practice and enhance the book's utility as a teaching and self-learning tool.
