Textbook Of Onco-Anesthesia & Critical Care

It covers anesthetic considerations for a wide range of cancer surgeries, including head and neck, breast, thoracic, and advanced procedures like CRS-HIPEC and PIPAC. Additionally, it addresses critical care, pain management, palliative strategies, and end-of-life care, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in the perioperative care of oncology patients.
