Synopsis

This is a new edition of a very successful textbook aimed at residents taking the Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and/or similar type exams. The examination has changed since the current edition was published moving from a three part exam to a two part one, with Part 1 now having a much greater basic science content.

The new edition should consolidate the book's position as the dominant text for Part 1 of the FRCA. It is also highly suitable for exams such as the Diploma of Anaesthesiology of the European Academy of Aneaesthesiology.

New edition has increased in size in order to cover the extra basic science now necessary for Part 1 of the FRCA - also highly suitable for similar examinations

Comprehensive coverage of basic science, eg. Physiology, principles of Pharmacology, Anaesthetic agents and physics for the anaesthetist

Covers the full range of clinical practice, from anaesthetic equipment and pre-operative assessment through to post-operative care, local anesthesia, anaesthesia for individual specialists, intensive care and the management of chronic pain.

Review

"It is a real pleasure to see the most recent edition of what I regard as the essential textbook of anaesthesia for perioperative practitioners.
Trainee nurses and ODPs, as well as qualified staff refreshing and expanding their knowledge, will find this book a valuable asset and a worthy investment." Marilyn Williams, Chairman, NATN Editorial Board, British Journal of Perioperative Nursing, January 2004
