9Preface to the First Edition
Emergency anesthesia is itself a unique specialty in the discipline of anesthesiology substantially different in scope and practice than the other branches of the subject. Management of acute emergency cases seems to be the most challenging and vital task to be handled by the anesthetist. It demands some extra skill, updated knowledge and experience on the part of the anesthetist concerned with emergency anesthetic care. Practising anesthesia in emergency cases with critical turbulent conditions makes the anesthetist more perfect, well-confident and foolproof.
The present volume Step by Step Practical Aspects of Emergency Anesthesia aims to serve as a ready reference for all who provide anesthetic care for the patient with acute surgical conditions. The book covers the basics of emergency anesthesia in different branches particularly surgery, obstetrics, ophthalmology, ENT and trauma surgery.
It is concise, comprehensive, practical and direct. I strongly believe it will appeal to all anesthetists in general seeking a practical guide in the management of anesthesia in common surgical emergencies.
I am grateful to Shri Jitendar P Vij (Chairman and Managing Director), Mr Tarun Duneja (Director–Publishing) of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India, who actively inspired and cooperated in the entire project.
