<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Drawing on the author's 40+ years of experience, this life-saving book uses 80 selected anesthesia cases to present lessons and tips for avoiding potential disaster, from operating room infection to intubation, to tracheostomy, to equipment failure, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p></p><p>All anesthesiologists eventually face the fear of a "near miss," when a patient's life has been put at risk. Learning from the experience is crucial to professionalism and the ongoing development of expertise. Drawing on forty-plus years of practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the United States, Norway, and South Africa, John Brock-Utne, MD presents 80 carefully selected cases that provide the basis for lessons and tips to prevent potential disaster. The cases emphasize problem-centered learning and span a broad range of topics--from an outbreak of operating room infection (could it be the anesthesia equipment?), complications of fiberoptic intubations, and problems with epidural drug pumps, to performing an urgent tracheostomy for the first time, working with an aggressive surgeon, and what to do when a patient falls off the operating table during surgery. 80 true-story clinical "near misses" never before published, ideal for problem-centered learning, recommendations, references, and discussions accompany most cases, rich basis for teaching discussions both in or out of the operating room, settings include sophisticated as well as rudimentary anesthetic environments, complements the author's other case book, <i>Clinical Anesthesia: Near Misses and Lessons Learned</i> (Springer, 2008).</p><p></p><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>All anesthesiologists eventually face the fear of a "near miss," when a patient's life has been put at risk.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone practicing anesthesiology ... . It is always prudent to heed the advice of those more experienced than ourselves; with this book, Dr. Brock-Utne has solidified some of those lessons on paper to be shared for the future." (Eric S. Fouliard, Anesthesiology, Issue 4, 2013)</p>"This book includes interesting cases from the author's (and his colleagues') 40+ year anesthesia career. ... The purpose is to present near-miss cases and the etiology of the problems. ... This is a great book for anyone interested, even peripherally, in anesthesia and critical care medicine. It would be a great read for medical students or student registered nurse anesthetists as well as residents and practitioners. It is such an easy read that it can be picked up and put down quickly."--- (Martin Dauber, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2011)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>John Brock-Utne is an Emeritus Professor of Anesthesia and a previous Associate Director of the Anesthesia Residency Program at Stanford University School of Medicine.
