Nurse Anesthesia Pocket Guide is a valuable resource for nurse anesthetists working in the operating room. This third edition provides easy-to-use and concise information on a range of topics including general anesthesia principles, obstetrics, pediatrics, regional anesthesia, and medication charts.

The book has been completely updated and revised, offering additional information on anesthetic complications, intraoperative monitoring, positioning ramifications, nerve injury, and pharmacology. It also introduces new peripheral nerve blocks and includes additional math and pulmonary/cardiac formulas.

The Nurse Anesthesia Pocket Guide features a comprehensive table of contents, covering core anesthesia information, airway and ventilation, monitoring, intravenous fluids, anesthesia pharmacology, neuraxial anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, neuro anatomy and physiology, cardiac anesthesia, arterial blood gases, pediatrics, obstetric anesthesia, and abbreviations.

Authored by Lynn Fitzgerald Macksey, a highly experienced cardiothoracic intensive care nurse and CRNA, this pocket guide is a result of her extensive clinical practice and teaching experience. Mrs. Macksey has published numerous case studies and anesthesia texts, and she continues to actively practice anesthesia and serve as a clinical preceptor to nurse anesthesia students.
