Innovations in Physiological Anaesthesia and Monitoring

by R. Droh (Editor), R. Spintge (Editor)

Overview

The editors of this book provide a forum for discussion on innovations in clinical applied physiology, the technology and management of anaesthetics, and the non-invasive monitoring of neuro-vegetative functions. Attention is focused on new physiological concepts of cardiovascular and respiratory control, with an innovative approach to the analysis of the neurovegetative state in man and its clinical application. New developments in the closed circuit anaesthesia system via infrared-spectrometry and oxymeters as well as breath-by-breath monitoring of gas-uptake are demonstrated, and new insight into the physics of circulation is given. Topics in the final chapters cover haemodilution with blood substitutes, new inhalant anaesthetic agents, imaging technique highlights, and new data on metabolism in multiple organ failure.
