An ideal resource for study, review, and successful anesthesiology practice, Pharmacology and Physiology for Anesthesia, 3rd Edition , provides the foundational information in pharmacology, physiology, and molecular-cellular biology to staycurrent with contemporary practice. This fully updated edition is invaluable for anesthetists and intensivists in perioperative patient management, offering a one-stop, detailed overview of the physiological and pharmacological principles underlying anesthesia-including clinical applications-helping you make informed decisions on anesthetic drug selection and administration, physiological management, and treatment of common disease in the perioperative period.

• Covers the normal and pathologic physiology affected by anesthetic interventions in surgical and critical care environments, including comprehensive information on anesthesia- related pharmacology such as drug mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, and pharmaceutical chemistry
• Reflects recent advances in the field such as new coagulation therapies, target controlled infusion (TCI) technology, pharmacogenomics, and glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists and their implications for anesthesia practice
• Includes significantly expanded chapters on blood management and hemostasis, and the pharmacology of intravenous anesthetics, antihypertensive agents, and anti-arrhythmic drugs, with a full chapter dedicated to the essential anesthetic propofol
• Helps you understand the molecular mechanisms of drug actions and identify key drug interactions that can complicate anesthesia with sections dedicated to these areas
• Features user-friendly tables, illustrations, diagrams, figures, and algorithms, all presented in full color and designed to help explain complex concepts
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
