Additional chapters cover how important organ systems respond to anesthesia.
This new syllabus contains informative, concise and scholarly discussion on anesthesia issues pertinent to the largest growing segment of the U.S. population. The year 2000 is shaping up to be a banner year for those interested in geriatric anesthesia. The geriatric anesthesia syllabus can now be viewed or downloaded through the ASA Web site. The ASA Annual Meeting this October in San Francisco, California, besides providing a wide variety of educational opportunities on geriatric anesthesia, will host an organizational meeting in preparation for the formation of a new society of geriatric anesthesia. The above-mentioned syllabus grew out of a desire by the ASA Committee on Geriatric Anesthesia to improve education in the field.
