The margin for error narrows the moment induction begins, and the anesthesia team has seconds, not minutes, to decide.

Many references separate pharmacology from airway technique from monitoring from regional procedures. That leaves trainees and specialists searching across texts during a difficult airway, a vasoplegic bypass separation, or a failed spinal.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Anesthesiology gives the 2026 anesthesia team one illustrated reference built around drug dosing logic, airway algorithms, hemodynamic decision points, and regional block technique.

• Intravenous, inhalational, neuromuscular blocking, opioid, and local anesthetic pharmacology

• Difficult airway algorithms, neuraxial and peripheral nerve block technique, advanced monitoring

• Cardiac, thoracic, neurosurgical, obstetric, pediatric, geriatric, and trauma anesthesia practice

• Clinical pearls, drug dosing snapshots, red flag alerts, case vignettes, and labeled clinical figures

• QR-linked video course with over 50 curated lectures for rapid teaching review

Use it when the next anesthetic decision needs a defensible clinical reason.
