'Ophthalmic Anaesthesia' is a comprehensive practical guide to anaesthesia for ophthalmic procedures. Advances since the book's first publication in 1983 have been dramatic, especially with the trend towards day case surgery for cataract extraction and lens implantation. Safe practice depends on careful selection of patients and rigorous protocols. These changes are central to this thoroughly revised and updated edition.
It includes recent advances in drugs, equipment and monitoring and audit. The ever-expanding demands of vitreo-retinal, lacrimal, orbital and oculoplastic surgery are considered and clear illustrations of injection sites provided. The management of paediatric cases is also covered and particular reference made to children with multiple disabilities and rare eye conditions.
This practical clinical guide will be invaluable to all anaesthetists, together with ophthalmic surgeons and nurses working in eye units.

This book deserves to be regarded as a standard reference text on anatomy and regional anaesthesia for eye surgery.

This is a useful book for anyone involved in the care of patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery.

I recommend this book to anesthetists involved in ophthalmic anesthesia and to ophthalmologists for its excellent descriptions of regional anaesthesia techniques.
