Second edition. David R. Goldmann, Frank H. Brown, and David M. Guarnieri; eds. 741 pages. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1994. $75.00.
Preoperative evaluation and perioperative management of surgical patients are increasingly complex undertakings. As the medical acuity and surgical complexity of patients increase, management of them brings diverse medical specialties into a process that is often unclear about the appropriate role of and knowledge base for the various specialties. This book provides an excellent overview of this area and, although intended for primary care providers and medical specialists, it is also a valuable resource for surgeons and anesthesiologists.
The organization of the book is particularly helpful. Initial chapters about the role of the consultant and appropriate preoperative testing greatly clarify an area of considerable change and controversy; discussion of the relationship of the consultant to the perioperative management team is especially useful. The information in this book is timely and should serve as a guide to appropriate preoperative evaluation and testing.
