Building off of the popular Case Studies of Near Misses in Clinical Anesthesia, Dr. Brock-Utne and dozens of international contributors provide the reader with all of the information needed to diagnose, prevent, and treat a potential disaster in clinical anesthesia. Each clinical case is presented complete with solutions and discussions about the problems, making recommendations and references for further reading.
More Case Studies of Near Misses in Clinical Anesthesia includes cases on a general anesthesia in a patient who has had a recent eye operation, a case of a spinal fracture, extubating a patient in the ICU, and an introperative cold ischemic hand. The cases emphasize problem-centered learning and span a broad range of topics, ideal for problem-centered learning. "This book includes interesting cases from the author's (and his colleagues') 40+ year anesthesia career. ... The purpose is to present near-miss cases and the etiology of the problems. ... This is a great book for anyone interested, even peripherally, in anesthesia and critical care medicine. It would be a great read for medical students or student registered nurse anesthetists as well as residents and practitioners. It is such an easy read that it can be picked up and put down quickly."--- (Martin Dauber, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2011).
