What would be the practical implications of caring more about others than about yourself? This is the radical theme of this extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. In the Mahayana tradition, those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of attitude required to develop true compassion are called bodhisattvas. Their great resolve—to consider others’ needs as paramount, and thus to attain enlightenment for the sake of all living creatures—carries them beyond the limits imposed by the illusions of “I” and “mine,” culminating in the direct realization of reality, transcending dualistic notions of self and other. This classic text presents ways that we can work with our own hearts and minds, starting wherever we find ourselves now, to unravel our small-minded preoccupations and discover our own potential for compassion, love, and wisdom. Many generations of Buddhist practitioners have been inspired by these teachings, and the great masters of all traditions have written numerous commentaries. Dilgo Khyentse’s commentary is probably his most extensive recorded teaching on Mahayana practice.

This chapter will discuss routine care and monitoring of pediatric patients postoperatively. It will include controversies about discharge criteria, postoperative pain management, and common complications such as nausea/vomiting and stridor.

VI. Specialty Anesthesia

This chapter will include specifics about managing common pediatric surgeries. It will be organized into subspecialty areas that will include: ENT, Cardiac, Ophtho, Ortho, Thoracic, Abdominal, Neonatal emergencies, Dentistry, Urology, Neurosurgery, Transplants, Radiological procedures, Radiation therapy, Endoscopy, and Sedation for painful procedures.

VII. Critical Care

This chapter will introduce the resident to the essentials of pediatric critical care. Since the ABA does not require too much knowledge in this area, this chapter will not be very detailed, but will include principles of resuscitation (PALS & NALS).

VIII. Acute & Chronic Pain Management

This chapter will briefly review principles of acute and chronic pain management in children.

Case Studies

At the end of each chapter there will be one to three case studies that are related to the chapter content. These can be contained within the gray boxes, or the gray boxes can be reserved for more traditional lists, or tables. Each case study will consist of a case and several questions to be answered about the case. The answers can either be listed directly below the questions, or preferably, further down so the reader can formulate their own answer first. The case study will ideally describe a controversial issue.

Example of case study from the Postoperative Concerns chapter:

A 3-month-old child presents for inguinal hernia repair. The child was born at 25 weeks gestation, and was ventilated for the first three weeks of life. Ongoing medical problems include anemia, and chronic lung disease of infancy.

Question 1. What are the common medical problems in former premature infants?

Question 2. What is the safe level of hemoglobin prior to anesthetizing this infant?

Question 3. What's the safest method of anesthesia for this infant?

Question 4. What criteria should be used to safely discharge this infant home following surgery?

Etc..
