Advanced Perioperative Crisis Management is a high-yield, clinically-relevant resource for understanding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, and management of a wide variety of perioperative emergencies. Three introductory chapters review a critical thinking approach to the unstable or pulseless patient, crisis resource management principles to improve team performance and the importance of cognitive aids in adhering to guidelines during perioperative crises. The remaining sections cover six major areas of patient instability: cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, metabolic/endocrine, and toxin-related disorders, and shock states, as well as specific emergencies for obstetrical and pediatric patients. Each chapter opens with a clinical case, followed by a discussion of the relevant evidence. Case-based learning discussion questions, which can be used for self-assessment or in the classroom, round out each chapter. Advanced Perioperative Crisis Management is an ideal resource for trainees, clinicians, and nurses who work in the perioperative arena, from the operating room to the postoperative surgical ward.

"Overall, this is an excellent reference text for crisis management in perioperative patients. The easily digestible and clear, concise approach to clinical situations that may be encountered is an ideal source for those involved in the perioperative care of surgical patients, and offers specific benefit to those in an acute care setting as well as those preparing for high-stakes examinations." - Srikanth Sridhar and Evan G. Pivalizza, Anesthesia & Analgesia

"This book makes a valuable contribution towards peri-operative crisis management and offers a concrete summary of the knowledge required in clinical crises. We would recommend Advanced Perioperative Crisis Management for Anaesthesia & Emergency medicine residency and critical care fellowship curriculum guidance and to use this book as a quick reference for practicing physicians in emergency crises." - Gauhar Afshan and Robyna Khan, Anaesthesia, Pain & Intensive Care Journal
