with the same scope and content as the German version – with instructional videos on DVD

With the 4th comprehensively expanded and completely revised edition of this unique book, the authors have impressively succeeded in completing the subject of blood pressure, including end organ damage and its significance in anesthetized patients. In addition, the new blood pressure measurement technology HDO (High Definition Oscillometry), which has just been introduced to the market, has been included in the comparisons of the available devices and the associated visual analysis options for blood pressure measurement have been integrated in the text and in videos on the DVD.

The authors can therefore justifiably claim to have produced a book that is highly topical in every respect.

No questions are left unanswered, rather the reader is guided through the variety of blood pressure analysis, blood pressure changes, their consequences and treatment options in a pleasantly readable factual style that is easy to understand and to the point. There are even possibilities for integrating this important examination technique into the practice routine as well as examples of calculations for the amortization of both the device and the working time.

With the support of this book, it can only be recommended to everyone to make blood pressure measurement accessible as a screening, monitoring and diagnostic technique for daily practice.
