It is estimated that 1.5 million infants undergo surgery and anesthesia in the USA each year. However, there are serious concerns within the pediatric anesthesia community regarding the safety of anaesthesia in infants and children. There is mounting evidence from animal studies that anesthetics in common clinical use are neurotoxic to the developing brain and cause long-term neurobehavioral abnormalities. Essentials of Anesthesia for Infants and Neonates provides a comprehensive guide to the special needs of infants undergoing anesthesia. It focuses on the first year of life, the time when anesthesia mortality and morbidity is highest. Chapters are illustrated in color throughout, and include sections on newborn physiology for anesthetic management, specific procedures, pain management, and topics such as regional anesthesia and sedation. Written by nationally recognized experts, this book will become an invaluable point of reference for any physician interested in pain management in the first year of life.

Quatrième de couverture :"Lors de sa parution en 2007, Echographie en anesthésie régionale périphérique fut le premier ouvrage francophone à proposer une indispensable synthèse sur l'utilisation de l'échographie en anesthésie locorégionale. Accompagnant littéralement l'essor de cette technique révolutionnaire, son succès fut immédiat, et l'ensemble des praticiens le considèrent aujourd'hui comme l'ouvrage de référence incontournable. Cette nouvelle édition légèrement corrigée et enrichie d'un chapitre sur les blocs de la face n'a rien perdu de l'esprit didactique et exigeant qui sous-tendait sa conception initiale. Bloc après bloc, l'exposé précis de près de 50 techniques, illustrées par une iconographie très rigoureusement sélectionnée, est étayé par les descriptions anatomiques de chacune des régions abordées, ainsi que par la synthèse exhaustive des données récentes de la littérature. L'iconographie abondante offre au lecteur plus de 700 figures dont 50 dissections anatomiques d'une qualité remarquable, et autant de dessins et schémas d'anatomie extrêmement soignés. Enfin, c'est par son originalité que l'ouvrage se singularise, au-delà de son apport scientifique évident, il est le fruit d'une expérience " en marche " qui permet de porter un point de vue pertinent sur le présent et le futur de la pratique."
