Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This practical pocketbook offers a concise introduction to the basic science and major clinical issues facing the anaesthetist when dealing with the overweight and obese patient.
MoreLong description:
Obesity and, in particular, morbid obesity, now affects upwards of one-third of the population of the Western world. Morbidly obese and super-obese patients are no longer uncommon, and frequently present for anaesthesia and surgery. Every practising anaesthetist is likely to be faced with such patients, either in the elective or emergency setting. Because morbid obesity is frequently complicated by a number of potentially life-threatening comorbidities, and because of the technical
and physical challenges involved in treating the morbidly obese, they represent a daunting prospect for even the most experienced and skilled anaesthetist. Moreover, they potentially represent an extremely high-risk group of patients. The high level of concurrent disease in these patients as well as
their altered physiology mean that standard anaesthetic drugs, equipment and techniques may be sub-optimal or even inappropriate.
This book provides a wealth of practical information and advice for the clinical anaesthetist dealing with the overweight/obese patient. It also provides a summary of the basic principles of the physiology of obesity, enabling the clinician to arrive at sound solutions to complex clinical problems. This book does not aim to replace the major texts or research literature in the field, but should serve as a practical ready reference. Suggestions for further reading have been included at the end
of each of the short, focused chapters.
