Preface

Our second volume was added to focus on specific topics that reflect current issues in anesthesia practice. This volume was constructed to complement the first volume but can also stand alone. As always, our goal was to be a comprehensive and readily available resource that the busy practitioner can easily utilize. Many of the same authors contributed to this volume.

As the content of the text has grown, we made a concerted effort to ensure a coordinated approach and stay focused on topics relevant to the current practice of anesthesiology. Chapters have been added that focus on the ongoing changes that affect the current practice of pediatric anesthesia. The problems associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in a chapter. We also included some specialized chapters, such as Research in Pediatric Anesthesia and Quality Assurance and Patient Safety in Pediatric Anesthesia, in hopes of inspiring others to further improve the practice and advance the science.

WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BOOK

Contributions to this book are made by different anesthesia providers from qualified pediatric anesthesiologists, researchers, general anesthesiologists who do occasional pediatric anesthesia, including anesthesia residents, pediatric anesthesia fellows, and certified registered nurse anesthetists. This book could serve as an invaluable source of knowledge for all who provide pediatric anesthesia because of the wide range of contributors and their diverse perspectives in the medical care of children.

THANKS

As in the first volume, I am extremely grateful to all the contributors who generously gave their time to bring their knowledge, points of view, and unique expertise to this book in order to provide this rich resource of information.

I thank my co-editors, Drs. Irwin Gratz, Grace Dippo, Nathalie Peiris, and Dinesh K. Choudhry for their knowledge, experience, patience, and scrupulous attention to detail to make this manuscript more meaningful.

SUMMARY

In summary, we designed this book for all practitioners who routinely or occasionally provide pediatric anesthetic care with a readily available source of reference. We sincerely hope this book will be of help to you in providing safe practice of pediatric anesthesia.
