About this book

Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 6th edition by Richard A. Jaffe, Clifford A. Schmiesing, and Brenda Golianu helps anesthesia professionals plan and manage care for patients undergoing a wide range of surgical procedures. The book brings surgical and anesthetic perspectives together so readers can understand not only the anesthesia requirements of a case, but also what the surgeon is doing, how the procedure is performed, and which perioperative factors may affect anesthetic management.

The 6th edition organizes information around specific operations and clinical scenarios, covering preoperative evaluation, anesthetic technique, airway management, monitoring, positioning, fluid and blood management, intraoperative concerns, postoperative care, and procedure specific complications. It spans major areas including neurosurgery, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and other surgical specialties. This edition also expands coverage of regional anesthesia blocks, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, and techniques such as transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE).

This book is especially useful for Anesthesiology Residents, Medical Students completing anesthesia rotations, practicing Anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNAs), anesthesia fellows, perioperative physicians, and clinicians who need quick procedure specific guidance before or during surgical cases. Its consistent format also makes it useful for reviewing unfamiliar operations and preparing an anesthetic plan efficiently.

For readers who want to connect surgical steps with practical anesthesia decisions, this manual offers a convenient way to review patient characteristics, anticipated procedure duration, positioning, anesthetic considerations, postoperative requirements, and common perioperative challenges.
