Proceedings of the Second General Meeting of the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia

Pain Management and Anesthesiology contains the presentations made at the 43rd Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology sponsored by the University of Utah and held at Snowbird, Utah, USA, February 20-24, 1998.

Anesthesiology and the Cardiovascular Patient contains the edited presentations of the 41st Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology, February 1996. This volume, as well as past and future volumes, reflects the rapid and continuing evolution of anesthesiology in the late twentieth century.

Papers presented at the 38th Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology, February 19-23, 1993

We are indebted to the authors for introducing the new opioids to regional analgesia with the scientists, who de veloped the potent short and ultrashort acting opioids with high therapeutic indices, which many researchers dreamt about but never before materialized.

Pediatric and Obstetrical Anesthesia comprises the edited presentations of the 40th Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology, February 1995. The book reflects the most recent advances in the physiology, pharmacology and anesthetic management of patients with central nervous system disease.

Anesthesiology and the Cardiovascular Patient contains the edited presentations of the 41st Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology, February 1996. This volume, as well as past and future volumes, reflects the rapid and continuing evolution of anesthesiology in the late twentieth century.

The subject of this book was also the topic of a meeting of the European Academy of Anaesthesiology held at the French Study Center, La Suquette, Saint Vincent Ie Palue~ held three years before publication of this book.

This treatise commemorates the 32nd anniversary of the first successful allogenic kidney transplant in a human being and the beginning of a con tinuing challenge for well over a generation of anesthesiologists.

Papers presented at the 38th Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology, February 19-23, 1993

Despite numerous reports of cerebral damage in cardiac surgery, the subject has not been given the attention it requires. The second section describes how imaging techniques (CT scan, MRI, regional cerebral blood flow imaging), and functional assessment techniques.

Most doctors already possess knowledge of the physiology of the internal envi ronment, but some are aware of being unable to deal effectively with clinical problems related to fluid and electrolyte disturbances and seek guidance to translate theoretical knowledge into practice.

There is a tendency of an increasing number of signals and derived variables to be incorporated in the monitoring of patients during anesthesia and in intensive care units. The addition of new signals hardly ever leads to thedeletion of other signals.
