Clinical Anesthesia Near Misses and Lessons Learned

Clinical Anesthesia Near Misses and Lessons Learned  2nd Edition offers a compelling collection of real-world cases drawn from over forty years of the author’s extensive clinical experience across major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa. This updated edition, which builds upon the 2008 first edition, includes the original 62 cases, now modernized with updated references, alongside 41 entirely new cases. It provides an invaluable resource for understanding and managing unexpected complications in clinical anesthesia.

Each case is presented succinctly on one page, with the problem clearly outlined, followed by a solution on the next page. The solution is accompanied by a detailed discussion of the case, alternative solutions that led to satisfactory outcomes, and practical tips to help avoid similar problems in the future. This straightforward format makes it easy for readers to absorb and apply the lessons learned from each near-miss scenario.

Clinical Anesthesia Near Misses and Lessons Learned second edition is especially beneficial for anesthesia practitioners looking to gain practical insights into rare but critical situations. Its case-based approach helps readers anticipate and learn how to navigate potentially life-threatening situations in anesthesia, even though such crises may not frequently occur in practice. Given the unpredictable nature of near-misses, reading about these actual cases serves as an essential preparation tool for handling unexpected complications when they arise.

This edition also serves as a valuable resource for those preparing for the American Board of Anesthesiology oral exam, providing real-world scenarios and solutions that can directly inform exam preparation. The engaging, case-based discussions make it an excellent study aid for residents, fellows, and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), while also providing a rich source of conversation for faculty looking to spark meaningful discussion in large or small group settings. With its practical insights and valuable lessons, Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned, 2nd Edition is an indispensable guide to learning from the rare but important challenges faced in clinical anesthesia.
