The Clinical Anaesthesia and The Anaesthesia Science (2009)

The second edition of the hugely popular The Clinical Anaesthesia Viva Book builds on the success of the first by providing a thorough review of short and long case questions typically given to Final FRCA viva candidates. An introductory chapter gives invaluable practical advice on preparation for the viva. This is followed by almost 100 short cases and 25 long cases, all based on viva questions posed at recent examinations. Answers have been constructed from a combination of popular textbooks, recent publications and the extensive practical experience of the authors. Short further reading lists are provided for more in-depth preparation. Written by a team of expert consultants and senior trainees with (successful!) experience of the Final FRCA, this second edition of The Clinical Anaesthesia Viva Book, is a must-have for anyone preparing for the Final FRCA viva.

Anestesia y analgesia obstetricas (2007)

Anestesia y analgesia obstétricas es una obra basada en los temas debatidos en el XIV Simposium de Anestesiología, celebrado en febrero de 2007 en el Hospital del Mar de Barcelona.

Su objetivo es aportar información actualizada a los profesionales relacionados con la práctica de la obstetricia, especialmente, anestesiólogos, obstetras.

El libro consta de 26 capítulos distribuidos en seis secciones :

La sección I trata sobre la evolución histórica de la anestesia obstétrica, destacando el avance y la seguridad que significó la introducción de la anestesia epidural y de los aspectos socio-sanitarios, especialmente el impacto causado por la población inmigrante, y la necesidad de comunicación previa con las embarazadas y familiares.

La sección II expone las pautas analgésicas y anestésicas que podría necesitar una mujer embarazada para situaciones no obstétricas, y hace una puesta al día de la cirugía fetal. La sección

III comprende temas claves como: técnicas regionales y generales de analgesia y anestesia aplicadas al trabajo de parto y cesárea, incluyendo la analgesia tras cesárea.

La sección IV trata del manejo de las gestantes con patologías asociadas, muchas veces en estado grave, como endocrinopatías, cardiopatías y preeclampsia.

La sección V comienza con un análisis de las causas de mortalidad materna y continúa abordando la prevención y tratamiento de las complicaciones, tanto específicamente anestesiológicas, como las obstétricas, así como el manejo de la parada cardiorrespiratoria de la gestante.

La sección VI insiste en la importancia de la correcta formación básica y práctica que ha de alcanzar un anestesiólogo antes de ejercer la analgesia y anestesia obstétricas, así como sobre la situación actual de la investigación en este campo.

Anestesia Regional con Ecografia (2007)

La verdadera revolución en la anestesia regional guiada por ultrasonidos ha llegado de la mano del desarrollo tecnológico, la aparición de sistemas más portables y sobre todo con una gran capacidad de resolución en la imagen, que ha dado lugar a una creciente popularización en este tipo de técnicas. Como contrapartida, al anestesiólogo se le plantean una nueva serie de retos, entre ellos la familiarización con los sistemas de ultrasonidos y la necesidad de un conocimiento más exhaustivo de la anatomía profunda de las regiones en las que se va a intervenir.

Este libro intenta dar respuesta a estos dos retos, el conocimiento de las bases físicas en la formación de ultrasonidos y en la representación de las imágenes que de ellos se derivan pueden ser muy útiles en determinadas ocasiones en las que es necesario un ajuste “fino” del ecógrafo para obtener una buena imagen o incluso a la hora de interpretar los posibles artefactos que aparecen en la imagen, que en no pocas ocasiones nos serán de gran ayuda. Por otra parte, el conocimiento de la anatomía profunda va a permitir no sólo una mejor realización del bloqueo, sino que, sobre todo, va a ayudar a evitar complicaciones derivadas de dicho bloqueo.

Con estos dos objetivos en mente y tras a ños de experiencia en estas técnicas, los autores decidimos plasmar esta experiencia en el libro que usted tiene ahora entre sus manos. Para conseguir un objetivo didáctico, el libro se ha dividido en varias secciones con una estructura similar. A una primera sección en la que se exponen los principios físicos y aspectos prácticos aplicables a estas técnicas, le siguen las secciones miembro superior y miembro inferior. Cada una de estas secciones comienza con un capítulo que muestra la anatomía nerviosa de dicho miembro, para posteriormente describir en los siguientes capítulos cada uno de los bloqueos.

Tras estas secciones, el lector podrá encontrar una dedicada a bloqueos guiados por ultrasonidos en el tratamiento del dolor y un capítulo más con las aplicaciones de la ecografía en la canalización vascular.

El comité editorial se han comprometido a producir una revista de primera clase revisada por expertos y  la edición de 24,1 del Update en su contenido ha sido ampliado para incluir contribuciones originales en forma de breves informes de los estudios clínicos, las auditorías e informes de casos. De los journals tiene como objetivo mantener informados a los lectores de las publicaciones importantes y relevantes de otras revistas, y el  Desafío cerebral contiene ejemplos de rayos X anormales, tomografías computarizadas y ECG para la interpretación de nuestros lectores.

Nosotros dependemos de la generosidad de los presupuestos del comité WFSA Publicaciones para financiar nuestro trabajo y en los voluntarios no remunerados que renunciar a su tiempo para ayudar a producir la revista. Yo estaría encantado de estar en contacto con nuevos autores y alentar a quienes están interesados en ver la Guía a los contribuyentes (abajo). Esperamos que usted disfrute de la revista, y que usted acepta el reto de continuar esforzándose para desarrollar los estándares de anestesia a nivel internacional.
