Synopsis
This is the third edition of the book originally published as Principles of Measurement for Anaesthetists. The major objective of the text is to explain the physical principles on which measurements are based, and to consider the problems and possible sources of error with each of the techniques, so that those choosing a measurement or monitoring system can make a rational choice from the commercially available equipment.

From the Back Cover
During a surgical operation it is the responsibility of the anaesthetist to maintain the vital functions of the patient in order that the surgical team may give their full attention to the procedure. The anaesthetist carries out a very similar role in the intensive care unit which is staffed largely by anaesthetists. This involves constant measuring and monitoring of many physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, muscle tone, blood gases and anaesthetic dosage. In order to do this effectively, the anaesthetist must rely on a vast array of highly complex and sophisticated electronic equipment. Not only must he know how to operate this equipment but he must also be able accurately to interpret and act upon the information it supplies.
Review
