Practical Points in Anesthesia
Neef,
About this book
Practical Points in Anesthesia is a comprehensive guide authored by Frederick W. Hewitt, designed to serve as a practical manual for both students and practitioners of anesthesia. First published in the early 20th century, this book distills the author's extensive experience into clear, concise advice on the administration of anesthetics in a variety of clinical settings. The text covers a wide range of topics, including the selection and preparation of anesthetic agents, the management of patients before, during, and after anesthesia, and the recognition and treatment of complications. Special attention is given to the use of ether, chloroform, and nitrous oxide, with detailed instructions on their administration, dosages, and the apparatus required. The book also addresses anesthesia in special populations such as children and the elderly, and in specific surgical procedures. Throughout, Hewitt emphasizes safety, vigilance, and the importance of adapting techniques to individual patient needs. Rich with practical tips, case examples, and illustrations, Practical Points in Anesthesia remains a valuable historical resource, reflecting the foundational principles and evolving practices of anesthesiology in its formative years.
