Guide to Immediate Anaesthetic Reactions serves as a practical guide
to the management of adverse anesthetic response. This book provides
information pertinent to the functions of anesthesia, including
hypnosis, analgesia, and neuromuscular control. Organized into six
chapters, this book begins with an overview of the immunological
principles in anesthesia and surgery. This text then discusses
mechanisms of the adverse anesthetic reactions as well as the
characteristics of immune response. Other chapters consider the theory
and practical management of anaphylactoid reactions, including the
requirements for laboratory studies. This book presents as well a
practical approach to the understanding, recognition, and management
of the life-threatening reactions of anesthesia to patients. The
reader is introduced to the general considerations for patients
presenting with various genetic abnormalities likely to trigger
abnormal response to anesthesia. The final chapter deals with the
immediate adverse reactions that are related to defects of enzyme
function rather than to immunity. This book is a valuable resource for
anesthetists, surgeons, and physicians.
