Perioperative Medicine

Perioperative Medicine features a streamlined, bulleted format that ensures quick comprehension of key concepts and reinforces readers understanding of the most complex topics in medical consultation and perioperative medicine. It contains expert, up-to-date coverage of the most critical, need-to-know concepts in perioperative care, from preoperative risk assessment to postoperative follow-up--and much more, while also includes an incisive review of comorbid conditions, assessment, and surgical care implications.
This new edition is extensively revised taking into account recent developments in the field of perioperative medicine, with special emphasis on extending the sections reviewing preoperative assessment and patient care while updating the sections on cardiology and pulmonary medicine. The Editors are further developing the sections on safety and quality while emphasizing the concept of the "hospitalist" and their importance on quality of care.
