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.
From reviews of the first edition:
'No anaesthetist should start training without this book and every trained anaesthetist should live up to the standards it sets!'
European Journal ofAnaesthesiology
'I would recommend it unreservedly to young residents in their first weeks of training.'
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
The authors specifically designed the book for use by trainee anaesthetists and operating department staff. This new edition contains a chapter on anaesthetic aphorisms with concise definitions and summaries throughout.
