Synopsis

'... an eminently readable source of information on the physics of anaesthesia and its associated measurements.'
(From a review of the second edition in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.)

For almost fifteen years, successive editions of this book have provided a clear and comprehensive understanding of physics and its clinical application for safe and reliable anaesthetic practice and this new edition continues in that tradition.

Emphasizing throughout the importance of mastering basic physics and measurement, this book aims to provide an understanding of physics and its clinical applications for safe and reliable anaesthetic practice.

About this title

From the Publisher

New for the Fourth Edition: * Comprehensive revision and updating as necessary * New section on magnetic resonance imaging * Additional material on monitoring depth of anesthesia * Descriptions of new apparatus, with the retention of information on older types of equipment where important for the demonstration of physical principles As in the previous editions, the authors clearly define the principles of clinical measurement. Mathematics are kept to a simple, understandable level with the frequent use of practical examples. Well established at the level between undergraduate teaching and advanced medical physics, this extensively illustrated book is for trainees and examination candidates in anesthesia and intensive care. Senior nursing, operating theatre and intensive care staff will also find it appropriate.
