Publisher's Synopsis
New trainees in anaesthesia are often bewildered by a speciality for which they have had little preparation in other areas of medicine.
In this book two highly experienced teachers of anaesthesia provide the novice anaesthetist with a small, practical guide to the fundamental knowledge required for safe practice.
It is written in a didactic and entertaining style and illustrated with a profusion of tables and figures to emphasise key points. This concise text will act as a source of reference for all trainee anaesthetists.
The authors specifically designed the book for use by trainee anaesthetics and operating department staff. This new edition contains a chapter on anaesthetic aphorisms with concise definitions and summaries throughout.
