Handbook of Neuroanesthesia

Thoroughly updated, the 5th edition of the Handbook of Neuroanesthesia is an essential guide to perioperative management of neurosurgical patients.
Written in an outline format for quick reference, this handbook provides detailed information about the anesthetic management of neurosurgical and neuroradiologic procedures and the intensive care of neurosurgical patients as well as those who have sustained traumatic brain and spinal cord injury.
Each chapter also includes clinical cases, summaries, and chapter highlights, giving readers all the information needed to confidently put what they learned to use in real life neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care cases.

"This is an outstanding guide to most aspects of this subspecialty. It is easy to read (and carry!), and should be essential reading for every trainee (resident or SRNA) on the neuroanesthesia service. The new style and the many new chapters/authors make this edition a refreshing and worthwhile contribution. Dr. Newfield and Dr. Cottrell have edited an excellent book."
