Anesthesiology -Pediatric &Clinical Anesthesiology

Anesthesiology, anaesthesiology, anaesthesia or anaesthetics is the medical speciality concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine, with the study and use of anesthesia and anesthetics being its core element. A physician specialised in this field of medicine is called an anesthesiologist, anaesthesiobblogist or anaesthetist, depending on the country.

Anesthesiologists are responsible for providing pain relief to patients and monitoring patients' vital signs during surgery. Anesthesiology is a prestigious and lucrative field of medicine that requires a great deal of education and expertise. Begin preparing for your career as early as possible. Ideally, you’ll do pre-med courses in college, but even if you graduate with a liberal arts degree, you can still attend medical school and become a board-certified anesthesiologist.

This app is designed for those who may become consultants in pediatric anesthesia. It is based on a curriculum developed since 1992 to illustrate the breadth and depth of the practice of anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia and the program is an integral part of the didactic series in the Department of Anesthesiology.

Current, concise, and engagingly written, Clinical Anesthesiology, is a true essential for all anesthesia students and practitioners.
