While all anesthetic and emergency drugs on the market are made for and administered to both adult and pediatric patients, their dosages and routes of administration are critically different. In the pediatric population, drug dosages are so specific, due to the child’s small body mass index, that each drug given is calculated to their specific kilogram weight. Pediatric Anesthesia and Emergency Drug Guide is the first book that discusses and lists the milligram per kilogram dose range of each drug. Designed as a quick index, the anesthesia care provider for a 21 Kg child can simply open the book to the 21 Kg page, and see all the common anesthetic drugs already calculated both in milligrams and actual cc’s to be drawn up for that specific weight, along with calculated intravenous fluids and endotracheal/LMA sizes as well as calculated emergency drugs, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation specific information including: chest compression to ventilation ratio, depth and rate of chest compression, synchronized cardioversion and defibrillation Joules, pulse check placement, and foreign body obstruction maneuvers.

All about diagnostic and prognostic tools available as well as epilepsy surgery. Patients with refractory extratemporal lobe epilepsy, particularly those in whom imaging examinations did not reveal any brain lesions, have a less positive prognosis after surgery than those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The semiology of seizures, the functional imaging techniques, neuropsychological evaluation and intracranial EEG are used to select surgical patients. Moreover, a large number of centres have experimented with new methods for identifying the epileptogenic area in these patients. Written by international experts who attended the Cleveland colloquium, it will be all the more useful to neurologists, neurosurgeons and epileptologists as no other work until now has focused on this subject. Contents : Section I - Semiology of extratemporal lobe epilepsy Section II - Non-inasive neurophysiology of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section III - Neuroimaging of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section IV - Invasive evaluation of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section V - Surgery and outcome of extratemporal lobe epilepsies
Approach to Pediatric Emergency explains the importance of choosing the correct action when a child is first admitted to an emergency department. Beginning with general emergency scenarios, the following chapters are each dedicated to a different type of emergency, including respiratory, renal, endocrinial, neonatal and ophthalmological; as well as poisoning, trauma and infections.
