Positioning in Anesthesia & Surgery

The third edition has been fully updated and revised. Positioning in Anesthesia and Surgery 3/e is still the most authoritative reference and technique manual available on a subject of primary concern to every anesthesiologist and surgeon. The popularity and wide usage of past editions plus the many problems of patient positioning related to recent developments in surgical interventions, have justified the second edition. Separate chapters cover the physiology, the technique, and the possible complications of each position. A logical, easy-to-reference organization groups positioning chapters by the body's relationship to the supporting surface of the operating table. Specific problems and subgroups of patients also receive full-chapter coverage.* Delivers new chapters on the operating table and its accessories, positioning the extremities, positioning hazards for geriatric patients, lithotripsy, and medicolegal considerations.* Presents brand-new topics, including the presentation of risk factors for ulnar and lower extremity motor neuropathies, the hyperlordotic position and its problems, the problems caused by pressurized abdominal insufflation for laparoscopy in the presence of head up or head down tilt, and an increased emphasis on preanesthetic recognition and evaluation of potential positioning problems. * Features discussions by 20 renowned authorities. All chapters (except medicolegal considerations) are now contributed by or revised and updated by anaesthesiologists to ensure maximum utility for readers. * Captures essential nuances of positioning postures with over 170 superb illustrations by the distinguished medical illustrator Roy E. Schneider.* Fully updated bibliography points readers to additional information on the full range of topics.
