Stoelting's Handbook of Pharmacology and Physiology in Anesthetic Practice is a reference book that provides a comprehensive overview of the pharmacology and physiology relevant to anesthesiology. The third edition, published in 2015, is authored by Drs. Pamela Flood, James P. Rathmell, and Steven Shafer, and it is a revision of the previous edition published in 2006.
The book is organized into 18 chapters, covering topics such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anesthetic drugs, cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, neuromuscular physiology and pharmacology, pain physiology and management, and the physiology and pharmacology of local anesthetics. Each chapter is written by experts in the field and includes a summary of key concepts, tables and figures, and references for further reading.
The book is designed to be a practical resource for anesthesiologists, residents, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients undergoing anesthesia.
