Synopsis
LEE'S SYNOPSIS OF ANAESTHESIA has become an essential textbook for the trainee preparing for professional examinations, and as an encyclopaedic reference text for the clinical anaesthetist. This new edition continues that tradition with a major revision of content, and a new format to make it a portable, pocket-sized companion.
It incorporates all that is relevant within the specialty in a structured, concise and instructive way, and now concentrates on the practical rather than the theoretical aspects. The format is very succinct using bullet points, summary boxes, lists and illustrations, to make it a useful revision companion, or aide memoir to clinical practice.
The popular history section has been completely removed and published as a separate book: A Short History of Anaesthesia
In short, the 12th Edition is:
The newest edition of this established textbook for the trainee Completely revised and reformatted into its original pocket format Focuses on the practical aspects rather than the theoryReviews from the previous edition:
'This edition, like all previous editions, provides almost a checklist approach to the search for clinical guidance and theoretical comprehension.' - Anesthsiology
'The favourite British anaesthetic text, matured rather than aged, packed with information, the only book to buy.' - Today's Anaesthetist, July 1993
'This book remains a major text for anaesthetists of all grades, and long
may it continue to do so. It is packed with information over the whole
range of anaesthetic practice...every anaesthetist, department and
hospital library should have a copy it is extremely good value.' - source ?

From the Publisher
The role of the practising anaesthetist is extending and advancing apace with the ever increasing flood of specialist literature. The eleventh edition of this comprehensive guide to anaesthetic practice fulfills the important aims achieved by its predecessors in bringing together all that is relevant within the speciality in a structure, concise and instructive way. The present authors have ensured it remains an up to date, quick reference guide to the whole scope of general and localanaesthesia, as well as cardiorespiratory intensive care and the management of pain. Therefore, each chapter has been rewritten and much new material has been added covering important areas such as acute and chronic pain, safety in anesthetic practice, medicolegal aspects, audit and the use of computers, magnatic resonance imaging and the management of trauma patients. The history of anaesthesia is considered important and now appears as a section at the end of the book to which has been added a chapter on agents and techniques no longer in common use, except in some parts of the developing world.
