Editorial Reviews

2018 BMA Awards: Highly Commended, Anaesthesia

"This book is comprehensive in its coverage, but doesn't get too bogged down in esoterica. The print version has grown quite large (over 700 pages), making the electronic version particularly attractive for users interested in having the book available at the point of care but who do not want to carry a bulky book around the operating room."

From the Publisher

Reviewer: David B. Glick, MD, MBA (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)
Description: This seventh edition of Stoelting's classic book updates the 2012 edition with new chapters on sleep pathology and perioperative concerns in the management of critically ill patients. This edition also includes access to an ebook version.
Purpose: The authors' purpose remains to offer a concise overview of the disease states and their treatments that affect patient management during the perioperative period. This has always been an important goal, and the growing number of patients coming to surgery with serious comorbidities makes the undertaking even more important today than it was when the book was first published in the 1980s.
Audience: While this can serve as a valuable resource for even the most experienced anesthesia providers when they need a quick refresher on a patient who presents with a medical issue that they do not treat routinely, anesthesia trainees who read the book cover to cover will get an excellent foundation in the challenges patients may pose as they embark on a career in anesthesia.
Features: The book presents an organized system-by-system approach to the pathophysiology and associated treatments of medical problems and the resulting modifications that these demand when planning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. The chapters are well written and well reasoned and do an excellent job of highlighting the pitfalls to avoid when managing patients with each of the different diagnoses.
Assessment: This book is comprehensive in its coverage, but doesn't get too bogged down in esoterica. The print version has grown quite large (over 700 pages), making the electronic version particularly attractive for users interested in having the book available at the point of care but who do not want to carry a bulky book around the operating room.
