Riassunto:This book provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in anaesthesiology. It covers the organisation of anesthesia services, surgical specialties and medical education and emphasises the patient's perspective during the perioperative process. The chapters "Solutions for Insufficient Epidural Analgesia for Planned Vaginal Birth" and "Interdisciplinary Emergencies in the Delivery Room" address current aspects of obstetric anaesthesia. "Anesthesia for Robotic Surgeries in Children" poses challenges, including patient positioning, restricted access for airway management and physiological changes due to the pneumoperitoneum. Adapted ventilation strategies are crucial for the safety of young patients. A forward-looking chapter, "Anesthetic Management of Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction", investigates a minimally invasive treatment for severe COPD. The reduction in morbidity and mortality is an advantage of this method, but it harbours risks such as pneumothorax, which is why careful interdisciplinary care is required. "General Anaesthesia in the Context of Haemorrhagic Shock and Trauma" describes the negative effects on the patient's homeostasis. Individualised anaesthesia is essential to address the patient's specific physiological needs. The chapter "Anesthesiologic Management of Patients with Opioids or Psychoactive Substance Use" deals with a particularly demanding patient group. The chapters "Fascial Plane Blocks" and "Considerations and New Perspectives of Locoregional Anesthesia in Dentistry" convey exciting new aspects of regional anaesthesia. Finally, "The Effect of Parental Anxiety on Postoperative Paediatric Cognitive Dysfunction" addresses the psychological impact of surgery on children. High parental anxiety can delay the recovery process and cause long-term cognitive impairment.
