Problem Based Learning Discussions in Onco-Anesthesia and Onco-Critical Care

Problem Based Learning Discussions in Onco-Anesthesia and Onco-Critical Care book offers an in-depth exploration of the anesthetic management in oncosurgical cases, covering key areas essential for both practitioners and trainees. It delves into various topics relevant to anesthesia in oncology, including the anatomy and epidemiology of different cancers, the chemotherapeutic agents used, their adverse effects, and the intricacies of preoperative assessment and optimization.

The book addresses the specific perioperative challenges associated with oncological surgeries and provides guidance on fluid management, anesthetic techniques, and perioperative pain management. It further explores the management of various postoperative complications that can arise in cancer patients, emphasizing the unique challenges in oncologic anesthesia.

Additionally, the text covers emergency situations such as tumor lysis syndrome, acute stridor, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, malignant spinal cord compression, and febrile neutropenia, which require prompt intervention. Specific to diagnostic or palliative procedures, the book discusses cases like percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), portal vein embolization, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and stenting.

Problem Based Learning Discussions in Onco-Anesthesia and Onco-Critical Care also incorporate practical details for pre-anesthetic evaluation tailored to particular oncological cases. For example, it covers the considerations for head and neck cancer patients with symptoms like drooling, breathlessness, voice changes, and difficulty lying supine, providing useful insights for planning the appropriate anesthetic technique.

Furthermore, controversial topics such as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) versus inhalational agents in oncosurgery, blood transfusion strategies (restrictive versus liberal), and goal-directed fluid therapy are explored in depth. Case scenarios presented in a problem-based learning format, complemented by easy-to-follow algorithms, flowcharts, and key takeaways, make the book an essential resource.

This book is invaluable for practicing onco-anesthesiologists, anesthesia postgraduates, fellows, and trainees looking to deepen their knowledge of oncosurgical anesthetic management.
