The increasing call for quality management and improvement can only be met by the
introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) which ensure continuity and
consistent quality in patient care. The purpose of the book is to review the practice
of anesthesiology and pain therapy in a very concise form. Based on the longstanding
experience of the authors and editors, specific, proven guidelines have been developed
on how to proceed in a variety of clinical situations. All relevant procedures are
described in a short and clear manner so that the user will know specifically what
to do in certain clinical circumstances. Numerous studies have shown that the
implementation of SOPs in the various participating departments can optimize processes
and lead to shorter hospital stays. In this way, standards can become a significant
factor in boosting efficiency and reducing costs.
