About the Book

This book is a practical, protocol-driven guide designed to support anaesthesiologists, critical care specialists, and operation theatre professionals in managing complex and high-risk clinical situations with confidence. It offers clear, structured standard operating protocols that focus on “what to do when stuck,” making it especially valuable during emergencies and crisis scenarios.

The content comprehensively covers General Anaesthesia, Regional Anaesthesia, Cardiac Anaesthesia, and Critical Care, including difficult airway management, hemodynamic instability, ventilator strategies, sepsis management, and ACLS/BLS protocols. Emphasis is placed on preoperative assessment, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative care to ensure holistic patient management.

Aligned with current best practices, ASA guidelines, and international standards, the book includes easy-to-follow flowcharts, emergency algorithms, and checklists for rapid bedside application. Special sections address paediatric, obstetric, geriatric, and cardiac anaesthesia, along with the management of surgical patients with multiple comorbidities. A dedicated section focuses on handling complications and unexpected anaesthesia-related emergencies with quick, logical decision-making strategies.
