Near Misses in Pediatric Anesthesia
Near Misses in Pediatric Anesthesiology Second Edition is an updated and expanded edition of a highly regarded case-based book that offers valuable insights into the field of pediatric anesthesiology. Authored by a renowned clinician and educator, the book offers readers an opportunity to learn from real-world clinical scenarios where near-miss situations occurred. These near-misses are pivotal in the development of a physician’s clinical judgment and decision-making skills, particularly in the complex and high-risk environment of pediatric anesthesia.
The second edition contains 87 true-story cases, with 40 of them being completely new. These cases cover a wide range of pediatric anesthesia challenges, allowing for both in-depth examination and practical learning. Each case is followed by expert recommendations, references, and a comprehensive discussion that not only evaluates the clinical decisions made but also offers insights on how to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
The book is designed to promote problem-centered learning, emphasizing the importance of reflecting on clinical experiences and maintaining professionalism throughout the lifelong process of honing clinical expertise. It encourages healthcare professionals to critically assess their decision-making processes and learn from both their successes and near-misses, fostering better outcomes in pediatric anesthesia.
This edition of Near Misses in Pediatric Anesthesiology complements Dr. Brock-Utne’s previous works in anesthesia and near-miss cases, expanding the scope to specifically address pediatric patients. The cases are thought-provoking and educational, making it an essential resource for pediatric anesthesiologists, residents, and students looking to deepen their understanding of pediatric anesthesia safety.
Ultimately, this book serves as a valuable guide for enhancing patient safety, improving clinical decision-making, and reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and self-reflection in the medical field.
