Features: This book is aimed at anesthetists who have at least received basic anesthesia training. It not only tells readers how to perform anesthesia but also helps them decide how to do it best in different situations. The content of this book is carefully selected, with topics that are more traditional but less relevant to readers removed. The book is divided into 8 parts. The first part covers general knowledge of preoperative assessment, such as informed consent, preoperative examinations, and potential impacts of existing medical conditions. The second part provides practical and comprehensive guidelines for different surgical specialties. The third part is on obstetric anesthesia practice. The fourth part covers pediatric and neonatal anesthesia. The fifth part is about emergency anesthesia. The sixth part discusses practical issues. The seventh part explains the management of acute pain. The eighth part is on local anesthesia. This book is useful for most anesthetists. Physicians preparing for exams can find many fundamental principles in the book, trainees rotating through different specialties can find knowledge related to anesthesia in various fields, and we hope senior physicians will also find valuable information, whether for operating room work or for teaching preparation.
