| Three
chapters discuss the anesthesia management of patients presenting with
burns, renal transplant and carotid endarterectomy, the chapter on
iatrogenic hyponatremia deals with complications arising from use of
irrigation fluids used during endoscopic, urologic and gynecologic
surgery. Anesthesia in the MRI suite outlines the problems due to strong
magnetic field and the MRI compatible equipment required for patient
management. There is an interesting write-up on the status of nitrous
oxide in the modern-day anesthesia practice and another chapter re-looks
on the commonly practiced brachial plexus block. Current concepts of
perioperative fluid therapy and management of postoperative nausea and
vomiting (PONV) have also been included. With burgeoning aging
population, the ever-increasing number of elderly patients are
presenting for surgery, and most of them have cardiovascular
comorbidity. Two chapters deal with the anesthetic implications of
diastolic dysfunction and implanted cardiac devices. On the other
extreme of age, one lung anesthesia in children has been dealt with in
detail. Obesity is turning out to be a worldwide epidemic and a large
number of these patients have obstructive sleep apnea which may be
undiagnosed preoperatively. The diagnosis and anesthetic management of
these patients have been discussed as also the management of patients
presenting for liposuction, a very common esthetic procedure in the
obese.
