The First Book about the Unsung Heroes of the Operating Room It\'s a busy time for the anesthetist during surgery. 50 Years in the OR gives readers an intimate sense of what it\'s like to be the only person in the OR who knows the heartbeat-to-heartbeat status of a surgical patient at any given moment..
Ron Whitchurch wrote this wildly entertaining book to offer a firsthand look at what happens after patients are anesthetized and what challenges the staff face in keeping them healthy and safe.
They all require analytical judgments along with many skills to manage them.
Each case is unique, whether it\'s a scheduled surgery on a healthy patient, an emergency or a critical illness.
Keeping a watchful eye on the patient\'s vital signs and being prepared for any possibilities that might develop are an anesthetist\'s prime focus.
