Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing upon the groundwork laid in the first edition, this book has been revised, expanded, and completely updated to include the broader concerns of airway gas analysis and management. While the first edition focused on the monitoring of carbon dioxide levels in the body, the second edition now looks at the monitoring of oxygen, nitrogen, helium and the anaesthetic agents. The authors discuss the clinical, physiologic, and tehnologic perspectives involved in monitoring all of these gases in the body. Additionally, this edition has been expanded to address the difficulties involved in monitoring carbon dioxide in small infants. This book will prove invaluable to any anesthesiologist keeping pace with the changing capnography technology.
