Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway-2판

Meet the clinical challenge of the difficult and failed airway with this updated full-color guide Includes DVD with
airway techniques! "This beautifully illustrated and extensively referenced textbook provides a comprehensive review of
the available options for airway management....For the busy clinician, this book provides the most up-to-date review
available of the many innovations that have been introduced in the past 10 years."--Steven L. Shafer, MD, Columbia
University Written by the founders of The Difficult Airway Course: Anesthesia™ and utilizing an instructive case-based
approach, this text/DVD presents all of the leading-edge principles, tools, and procedures of airway assessment and
management. The scope of the book encompasses the many airway devices that have been developed since the publication of
the first edition, many of which have the potential to markedly enhance airway management. Extensively revised and
updated, the second edition of Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway emphasizes how airway management is
context-sensitive: included are strategies for treating patients in a range of settings, from prehospital care to the
ER, as well as proven techniques for special patient populations. In addition, new chapters have been added to further
refresh the book’s content and provide you with a solid grasp of the most critical topics in this fast-evolving area.
The book’s effective organization has been maintained, beginning with the first section’s focus on the basic
foundations of difficult and failed airway management. The second section reviews must-know airway devices and
techniques, while the third part of the text introduces case studies that thoroughly examine the application of these
techniques in complex clinical situations. A final section covers the practical considerations, such as difficult
airway carts and teaching and simulation in airway management. FEATURES Skill-building, case-based approach highlights
the right tools and techniques for stabilizing the patient, plus important safety precautions relevant to the clinical
setting New “context-sensitive” focus links airway techniques to specific clinical environments, including airway
cases in prehospital care, the emergency department, the critical care unit, and the operating room Essential new
chapters cover the fundamental principles of bag-mask-ventilation, single lung ventilation using double lumen tubes,
and airway management in austere environments, in addition to airway education and simulation Mnemonics, easy-to-follow
algorithms, and alternative strategies (Plan A, Plan B, etc.) in every chapter reinforce pivotal concepts Chapter-
ending questions offer effective self-assessment Accompanying DVD with instructive video visually explains common
procedures in a learn-as-you-go style
