Description
International Congress Series 1168

State of the Art Technology in Anesthesia and Intensive Care contains selected papers from the 18th International Symposium on Computing in Anesthesia and Intensive care held in Hamamatsu City, Japan. Four hundred participants from twenty-two countries focused their interest on promoting patient safety and quality improvement in anesthesia and intensive care using state of the art technology.

The book also introduces eight new techniques for cardiac output estimation that encompasses almost all techniques available in the world.

This is the only book presently available that compiles the most advanced technology in the field of anesthesia and intensive care medicine.

Audience
Specialists working in the field of Anesthesiology, Intensive Care/Emergency Medicine, Pain Management, Medical Technology and Laboratory Medicine, Information Systems, and Computers and Education
