Organized by different types of skeletal dysplasia and associated co-morbidities, the chapters offer practical guidance on anticipating and managing potential complications during anesthetic care. The book also incorporates the patient’s perspective, highlighting the unique challenges faced by individuals with skeletal dysplasia in accessing appropriate anesthesia services and navigating complex perioperative care.

Primarily aimed at anesthesiologists, sedation specialists, and critical care practitioners, this resource is also valuable for patients and families seeking to better understand the anesthesia process. By enhancing awareness and knowledge, readers can make informed decisions and optimize outcomes, ensuring safe and effective anesthetic management for this complex patient population.
