Drain's PeriAnesthesia Nursing: A Critical Care Approach

by Jan Odom-Forren

Drain's Perianesthesia A Critical Care Approach, 6th Edition is the most comprehensive book on the market specifically tailored to perianesthesia nurses. The book features five distinct sections – the PACU, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, nursing care, and special considerations. Nursing and pharmacologic interventions are integrated with in-depth coverage of pathophysiology. This edition expands coverage of evidence based research and adds a new chapter on care of the obese patient undergoing bariatric surgery. Written by Jan Odom-Forren, an expert in the anesthesia and post-operative fields, Drain's Perianesthesia Nursing is also an excellent study tool for ASPAN certification.

Excellent preparation for CPAN certification exam. This is an older edition but was able to study key points. My practice test book referred to the Drain textbook but the newer edition. Passed on the first try
