Description
Committed to providing safe anaesthetic care for paediatric patients, it is of paramount importance for clinicians to learn from suboptimal situations in order to continuously improve clinical performance. The first resource of its kind, this text analyses a selection of fascinating case studies and evaluates best practice in providing safe anaesthesia to children with recommendations on how to avoid the most common clinical pitfalls. Featuring over seventy chapters, topics include airway-related problems, vascular access, regional anaesthesia, medication related problems and the management of patients with pre-existing conditions. Each case study is supported by full colour images, making this essential reading for consultants and trainees in anaesthesia.
A comprehensive guide for anaesthetists on how to manage the complications and errors involved in treating paediatric patients.

Reviews
'Whilst this book is aimed at consultant anaesthetists and trainees it is a valuable resource to all practitioners working in this area of practice and I would recommend its use in the perioperative department to support Operating Department Practitioners, Registered Nurses and other practitioners working in anaesthetics, surgery and post anaesthetic recovery units.' Lindsay Keeley, Journal of Perioperative Practice
'... the author ... brings an abundance of insight and guidance to the table with a concise, extremely easy to read style that allows for the immediate grasp of his purposeful proposals. Each chapter can be read in a couple of minutes allowing for a quick and practical knowledge refresher for those outside the daily practice of paediatric anaesthesia who do not want to read a textbook chapter.'
