Features: Anesthesiology is one of the fastest-developing disciplines in clinical medicine and continues to maintain a high growth momentum. Although numerous domestic anesthesiology (monographs) have emerged in China in recent years, classic anesthesiology translations from abroad are relatively rare. To meet the needs of anesthesiologists for understanding clinical anesthesiology abroad, the People's Press has commissioned us to translate "Clinical Anesthesia" edited by Professor Paul G. Barash, Bruce F. Cullen, and Robert K. Stoelting. "Clinical Anesthesia" was written by over 110 renowned anesthesiologists from major hospitals in the United States and is one of the most widely used classic works by anesthesiologists in Europe, America, and around the world. The translated version is the newly published 4th edition. Unlike the previous three editions, this version is characterized by "newness." It not only introduces the latest concepts and management philosophies in anesthesiology but also emphasizes "cost-effectiveness in medical management." In addition to introducing new drugs, this edition highlights "cost-effectiveness in medical management." It not only adds content on transesophageal echocardiography and transcranial Doppler monitoring but also introduces minimally invasive surgery and anesthesia techniques. The 4th edition of "Clinical Anesthesia" reflects that anesthesiologists are no longer just the "protectors of patient life in the operating room" but have also become "perioperative physicians" involved in perioperative treatment. It gradually forms specialized physician teams in sub-disciplines such as pain management, critical care, and pediatric anesthesia. This book can not only serve as a reference for learning clinical anesthesiology but also as a window to understand Western and global anesthesiology management and development. We hope readers will benefit from this edition, enhance their understanding of clinical anesthesia management, and ultimately improve the quality of patient care.
