Pocket Anesthesia (Pocket Notebook) Fourth Edition

Book Preface

Written by residents, fellows, and attending staff, this newest edition of Pocket Anesthesia provides a practical, concise, up-to-date source of information for management of the most common perioperative conditions facing today’s anesthesia provider. Our goal in writing this popular pocket guide was to give you a useful, evidence-based reference which providers can refer to, in order to quickly find the most relevant information they need.
For this fourth edition, we updated much of the information to reflect current knowledge and significantly expanded regional anesthesia and chronic pain management chapters. We also expanded coverage of enhanced recovery after surgery, ultrasonography, and echocardio-graphy. We are grateful for the support of all our contributors from many different institutions across the country. With its basic and advanced content, this book is intended for a wide audience, from students and resident trainees to experienced practitioners.
We are especially indebted to a number of individuals whose unending support and encouragement made this work possible. We would like to thank the Wolters Kluwer staff, including Ashley Fischer, Keith Donnellan, and Blair Jackson.
Finally, a very special thanks to our parents and families, including Mr. Judd Taback, Drs. Katharine Nicodemus, David Ehrenfeld, and Zina Matlyuk-Urman for their continued encouragement, love, and support. We hope that you find the fourth edition of Pocket Anesthesia a valuable resource in your clinical practice.
