Book Description
The initial months working as a trainee anaesthetist are daunting, with a wealth of new drugs, terminology, anaesthetic equipment, and practical procedures to master. This essential guide, now in its sixth edition, provides doctors and clinical staff with a clear introduction on the delivery of safe anaesthesia from day one. Fully updated and split into four key parts for quick consultation, it covers the airway and anaesthetic equipment, and offers advice on how to manage common crises and emergencies such as cardiac arrest, haemorrhage, and blood transfusion. Proceeding parts explore subspecialties and provide information on intensive care and perioperative medicine. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect recent changes in anaesthesia, and including new chapters on obstetric anaesthesia, common regional nerve blocks, and emergency laparotomy. Written in an accessible style, it is an essential resource for learning the safe fundamentals of anaesthetic practice for trainee anaesthetists and clinical staff working alongside anaesthetists.
