| For over 40 years, this award-winning textbook has been the core text for anaesthetists new to the specialty and other healthcare professionals involved in perioperative care. Now in its eighth edition, this high quality, clinically relevant resource continues to offer essential reading covering all aspects of anaesthesia in surgery. Covering day-to-day clinical practice in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine, from preoperative assessment and optimisation to clinical anaesthesia and postoperative care, this practical guide also contains an overview of the scientific principles that underpin these practices. It includes topics such as relevant pharmacology and basic physiology; data analysis and statistics; physics; equipment and monitoring; safety and quality assurance; general, regional and local anaesthetic techniques for a full range of surgical specialties. In combining these aspects, it has been an invaluable resource for generations of anaesthetists. Fully updated and now accompanied by ancillary videos, this book is ideal for all trainee anaesthetists including candidates for the Fellowship of Royal College of Anaesthetists and similar examinations. |
