All About Anaesthesia
Although anaesthesia has made possible many remarkable advances in medical treatment in the twentieth century, most patients know little about the procedure, and many of them are unduly apprehensive about its risks and consequences. This succinct, sympathetic and authoritative book aims to allay these anxieties, covering all aspects of the procedure.
Readership:
General practitioners, anaesthetists, patients' families of patients preparing for surgery.
