Abstract

From fundamental principles to advanced subspecialty procedures, Miller’s Anesthesia covers the full scope of contemporary anesthesia practice. It is the go-to reference for masterful guidance on the technical, scientific, and clinical challenges you face. Now new chapters, new authors, meticulous updates, an increased international presence, and a new full-color design ensure that the 7th edition continues the tradition of excellence that you depend on.

  • Covers the full scope of contemporary anesthesia practice.
  • Offers step-by-step instructions for patient management and an in-depth analysis of ancillary responsibilities and problems.
  • Incorporates ‘Key Points’ boxes in every chapter that highlight important concepts.
  • Extends the breadth of international coverage with contributions from prominent anesthesiologists from all over the world, including China, India, and Sweden.
  • Features 30 new authors and 13 new chapters such as Sleep, Memory and Consciousness; Perioperative Cognitive Dysfunction; Ultrasound Guidance for Regional Anesthesia; Anesthesia for Correction of Cardiac Arrhythmias; Anesthesia for Bariatric Surgery; Prehospital Emergency and Trauma Care; Critical Care Protocols; Neurocritical Care; and Renal Replacement Therapy.
  • Dedicates an entire section to pediatric anesthesia, to help you address the unique needs of pediatric patients.
  • Presents a new full-color design -- complete with more than 1,500 full-color illustrations -- for enhanced visual guidance.
