anesthesia. It covers everything from general pediatric physiology and pharmacology principles through important pediatric diseases;
preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care; anesthesia for a full range of specific surgical procedures; and critical care.
Case studies in each chapter demonstrate the clinical relevance of the material and test readers' comprehension. Tightly focused, user-friendly
chapters make it ideal both as a refresher for certification or recertification, and as a reference for everyday clinical practice.
