Glendale, CA (PRWEB) September 21, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation announces the release of Anesthesiology Volume 55, Issue 12: Anesthesiology in the Elderly/Anesthesiology and Coexisting Disease.

2. Distinguish between patients requiring preoperative optimization and those who may be assessed on the day of surgery.
3. Explain the importance of closing volume and closing capacity.
4. Anticipate and appropriately treat intraoperative bronchospasm.
5. Describe the physiologic effects of smoking cessation.

Schoenwald, MD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, and Associate Director, Anesthesiology Education, and Staff Anesthesiologist, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
