Problems of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Anesthesia, the Perioperative Period, and Intensive Care International Symposium in Würzburg, Germany, 1–3 October 1998 / edited by M.K. Herbert, P. Holzer, N. Roewer.

After a long period of neglect, the gastrointestinal tract is increasingly being recog­ nized as an important target of anesthetics and anesthesia-related processes, as well as of conditions and treatments related to peri- and postoperative period and inten­ sive care. Drugs used in anesthesia and i...
