Each chapter deals with a specific drug or technique and is structured into the following: background knowledge, main evidence from the literature, and a practical how-to section. Lastly, the book describes in detail the consensus process used, which served to reinforce the systematic review and which is currently being usedand improved in other settings with growing success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by respected international experts, \u003ci\u003eReducing Mortality in the Perioperative Period, 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e ed. \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to a wide variety of specialists, including anesthesiologists, intensivists, surgeons and cardiologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-01-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319466958\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-46696-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 158\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44807991296140,"sku":"9783319466958","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319466958_4fb5656b-c3a9-4d61-ae14-fea4e0b101dd.jpg?v=1776774398","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319466958","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
