Pathologic pictures of anesthetic complications.
An attempt has been made to discuss, briefly, some of the pathologic pictures and processes peculiar to anesthetic agents and technics. As surgical procedures increase in length and complexity, and as the poorer risk patients are now considered suitable for many major surgical procedures, anesthesia has of necessity become more of a problem, and anesthetic complications should be borne in mind during the preoperative study of these patients, and should be watched for during the operative postoperative course.
