Yearbook of Anesthesiology-5

by Raminder Sehgal, Anjan Trikha

The main objectives of this book introduce the “Yearbook of Anesthesiology-5”. The boo “Yearbook of Anesthesiology-5” is a unique way to fulfill the goal of the Indian College of Anaesthesiologists (ICA), the academic wing of Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists (ISA). It aims to propagate teaching and training in anesthesiology and streamline the anesthesia practice, so as to narrow down the disparity in the quality of anesthetic practices in the country and allow for international accreditation of ICA. The topics for this book have been selected to cover all aspects of current anesthesia practices. While a few like oncoanesthesia, postoperative vision loss, ambulatory surgery in the obese and pharmacological therapies for perioperative blood loss have been recently reviewed in various anesthesia journals, others like management of anemia and parathyroid surgery, malignant hyperthermia and awareness under anesthesia are the ones that have not been recently dwelled upon. Basics of anesthesia have been well covered in chapters on tissue oxygenation, mechanism of pain and analgesia, renin-angiotensin system, ischemic-reperfusion injuries and place of ketamine in modern anesthesia practice. The topics such as fibromyalgia, continuous peripheral nerve blocks and ventilator-associated pneumonia have been revisited and the recent evidence if any has been updated. The specialty subjects such as aortic aneurysm surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery, peripartum cardiomyopathy, management of organ transplanted patients coming for incidental surgery and closedloop anesthesia systems have been covered by experts in these fields. Airway management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an integral part of anesthesia training and two chapters have been devoted to the art of tracheal extubation and how advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) can be applied in contemporary anesthesia practice.
