Applied Anesthesia: Connecting Physiology Science, Pharmacology, and Monitoring Across Perioperative Care

By: O. Nelson, Juan

Understand the science behind anesthesia and develop the reasoning skills to interpret its effects throughout perioperative care.
Inside, readers will explore: Respiratory and cardiovascular physiology, gas exchange, and tissue perfusion.Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and the mechanisms of major anesthetic drug classes.Monitoring signals, measurement limitations, and interpretation of conflicting findings.Equipment systems, preoperative assessment, and airway and ventilation principles.General and regional anesthesia, multimodal analgesia, and comorbidity.Recovery, handover, teamwork, and introductory special-population considerations.Original diagrams, worked calculations, fictional cases, and practice questions with explained answers help readers connect scientific principles with meaningful clinical questions. Learning objectives and chapter references support structured study, revision, and supervised discussion.
Designed for learners with foundational knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology, this book encourages careful interpretation: explaining what observations support, identifying missing information, and recognizing the limits of a conclusion.
