Out of Operating Room Anesthesia A Comprehensive Review

Out of Operating Room Anesthesia A Comprehensive Review covers all aspects of anesthesia and deep sedation practice outside the traditional operating room setting, with a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of anesthesia management, particularly in handling unanticipated adverse events. The book provides a concise yet thorough description of the basic sciences relevant to out-of-OR anesthesia, ensuring that practitioners have a solid foundation in the underlying principles while focusing on real-world applications.

A key feature of this book is its discussion of high-profile cases, such as the one involving Joan Rivers, addressing the recognition, prevention, and management of situations that could lead to adverse outcomes. The text underscores the importance of safety as the cornerstone of providing anesthesia in remote or unfamiliar settings, where resources may be limited, and emergency interventions more challenging.

Out of Operating Room Anesthesia A Comprehensive Review also highlights a significant issue in out-of-OR anesthesia: the lack of accurate documentation. It draws attention to the critical need for proper documentation, both from a practical and medico-legal perspective, to ensure quality care and protect both the patient and healthcare provider.

Additionally, a separate chapter delves into research and future directions in out-of-OR anesthesia, offering insights into potential advancements and innovations in the field.

This comprehensive review is primarily aimed at anesthesia providers, including anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and residents. It is especially valuable for those involved in non-OR procedures, such as dental anesthesia, anesthesia for emergency room procedures, and sedation for cosmetic procedures. These chapters are designed to serve as reference guides for physicians who may have limited formal training in anesthesia during their residency but are exposed to anesthesia practice in their respective specialties.
