Authored and edited by experts from both specialties, this book ensures that both groups of professionals find the information most relevant to their needs. By combining the expertise of anesthesiologists and otolaryngologists, it presents a wealth of knowledge necessary to enhance the management of patients undergoing otolaryngologic procedures.

The book is structured around the full range of otolaryngologic procedures, offering a clear and organized chronologic progression of care.

The book goes beyond the basics by addressing critical areas such as acute and chronic pain management, along with the specific logistics of managing an office-based surgical practice. Special attention is given to complex challenges like managing difficult airways and the particular nuances of pediatric otolaryngologic procedures.

Anesthesiology and Otolaryngology is the ideal “all-in-one” reference for both otolaryngologists and otolaryngologic anesthesiologists. The inclusion of “Pearls and Insights” at the end of each chapter further enhances its value as a practical guide. Organized by surgical region, this resource covers the entire perioperative spectrum, ensuring that practitioners in both fields have the knowledge they need to deliver safe, effective care to their patients.
