Foreword

“Pediatric Anesthesia A Guide for the Non-pediatric Provider” edited by Bharathi Gourkanti, MD with Drs. Gratz, Dippo, Peiris and Choudhry is a worthwhile addition to the library of every anesthesia resident and anesthesia practitioner. It is a solid reference for common and uncommon encounters in pediatric anesthesia practice.

Pediatric anesthesia is a complicated and often intimidating subject for anesthesia trainees as well as non-pediatric trained anesthesia providers. This textbook gives a new light to various topics in a user-friendly format including pediatric emergencies inside and outside the operating room. It includes the most recent literature at the time of publication for evolving topics including anesthetic considerations for COVID 19. It also has a section on the current state of research in the pediatric population as well as updates on quality and patient safety in pediatric anesthesia. The authors have written and illustrated a resource with high yield charts, graphs and tables.

One of the primary goals of this book is to provide a user-friendly resource for the safe care of infants and children and this book meets this goal. It breaks down the current clinical practice into an approachable outline for all providers. I recommend it for anesthesia trainees, new and established practicing clinical anesthesiologists, anesthetists, pediatric dental, emergency medicine providers, and pediatric intensivists.
