Publisher's Note Clinically oriented and current, this book addresses the needs of the general anesthesiologist for a quick reference on dealing with the anesthetic management of elderly patients. Changes in the physiology and pharmacology of the cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous and renal systems present the practitioner with possible complications in otherwise routine procedures. Management techniques to minimize the risk are presented in step-by-step detail for a variety of surgical procedures.
