Synopsis

Every Test Said the Airway Was Easy. Then the Oxygen Level Fell.

A 54-year-old woman with a perfect Mallampati score. A routine induction. Six minutes later the saturation is 84%, the capnograph is flat, and every step so far was defensible. Anesthesia is most dangerous in the cases that look ordinary, and the margin for error is measured in minutes.

This book is for those cases. It covers what to recognize, what to do first, what to give, and where clinicians go wrong, from the preoperative visit through to the recovery room.

Built Around the Decisions You Actually Face

Twenty-five chapters in six parts. Every chapter opens with a clinical scene and works through the reasoning, the dosing and the pitfalls. Coverage includes:

• The difficult airway: prediction, planning, awake intubation, and front-of-neck rescue when oxygenation fails
• Aspiration and the full stomach, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and rapid sequence induction
• Severe lung disease, sleep apnea, obesity, and one-lung ventilation
• Coronary disease, valve lesions, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, pacemakers, and implantable defibrillators
• Cardiac arrest and sudden collapse in the operating room, with the reversible causes applied to anesthesia
• Hemorrhage, massive transfusion, and coagulopathy, including viscoelastic testing and anticoagulant reversal
• Malignant hyperthermia, anaphylaxis, and local anesthetic toxicity
• Obstetric, pediatric, geriatric, trauma, burn, and neurosurgical patients
• Liver, kidney, and endocrine disease
• Regional anesthesia complications, anticoagulation timing, postoperative care, consent, and building a culture of safety

Doses and Numbers, Not Generalities

• Protocol boxes give numbered steps in the order you would do them
• Calculation boxes work real problems with units carried through, such as drug doses, blood loss, and oxygen delivery
• Pitfall boxes name the specific error and the correct understanding
• Case boxes show the decision points, and Pearl and Key Concept boxes carry the bedside craft
• Tables for criteria, doses, and comparisons, and numbered equations for scores and dosing rules
• Three appendices: critical-event drug and dose reference, risk scores and classification tables, and formulas and normal values; plus an abbreviations list and a glossary

Who This Book Is For

• Anesthesiology residents and fellows
• Nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologist assistants
• Attending anesthesiologists who want the reasoning and the sequence
• Perioperative, critical care, and obstetric clinicians who share these patients

Know the Next Move Before the Room Goes Quiet

When the airway fails, the pressure drops, or the temperature climbs, this book gives you the recognition, the sequence, and the reasoning behind each step.

Doses are typical adult values for teaching and must be checked against local protocols and the patient in front of you.
