Anesthesia Care of Patients with Skeletal Dysplasia
摘要
Patients with skeletal dysplasia are at greater risk for adverse events, including death, during or shortly after their anesthetic care. Due to advancements in medical and surgical treatment modalities, patients with skeletal dysplasia now enjoy a longer life span, emphasizing the importance of broader awareness and deeper understanding of the specialized anesthetic management required to ensure their safety and successful outcomes. This book provides a comprehensive overview of anesthetic care and management tailored specifically towards various forms of skeletal dysplasia.
The chapters are organized into sections that focus on the different forms of skeletal dysplasia and their associated co-morbidities. They provide insights on how to anticipate and manage potential complications that may occur during the anesthetic care of these complex medical patients. Additionally, the book highlights the patient’s perspective, shedding light on the challenges individuals with skeletal dysplasia encounter in accessing appropriate anesthesia care.
Intended primarily for practitioners of anesthesia, sedation, and critical care, this publication also serves as a resource for individuals with skeletal dysplasia who require anesthesia care. An understanding of the anesthesia process by the patients and families enables them to choose optimal care for a successful outcome.
