Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures

by Richard A. Jaffe (editor), Brenda Golianu, Stanley I. Samuels (Editor)

Completely updated, and now in full color, this practical reference is a comprehensive guide to the anesthetic and perioperative management of patients during all procedures performed by general and subspecialist surgeons. The book explains each procedure from both the surgeon's and the anesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anesthetic technique, and guides the anesthesiologist and surgeon through the decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery. Emphasis is on factors that impact the anesthesiologist, including patient positioning, duration of surgery, and complications. The Fourth Edition covers almost 40 new surgical procedures, with an increased focus on laparoscopic and endovascular procedures. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.

I used this book during anesthesia school to prepare for cases. I think there is some helpful information on surgical technique and possible complications. However, as far as how to prepare for the case, I’d use the phone app created by Vargo. His app is a wealth of knowledge beyond case preparation. The Vargo app is also the most up to date information I’ve seen concerning how to manage and prepare for cases, while Jaffe’s book does not seem current.
