Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is a useful aid to the recovery room or surgical ward nurse for whom skill in taking quick, accurate decisions is of such vital importance. As in other titles in this series, the decision making process is illustrated by the use of an algorithm, beginning with a clinical sign or symptom and progressing through the steps required to assess the problem and take the appropriate action. The text offers comments pertinent to the various decision points on the algorithm. The format, which is a precursor of computerized teaching methods, provides a tool for learning or reviewing concepts and procedures in post-anaesthesia care.
