Single Best Answer MCQs in Anaesthesia: v. II: Basic Sciences

This book comprises six sets of single best answer practice papers. Each set contains 30 single best answer questions on physiology, pharmacology, clinical measurement and physics. The scenarios are based on the application of a wide knowledge of basic sciences relevant to the clinical practice of anesthesia. The best possible answer to a given question is substantiated by detailed explanation drawn from recent journal articles and textbooks of anesthesia and basic sciences. These questions enable the candidates to assess their knowledge in basic sciences and their ability to apply it to clinical practice.

Alongside the previously published book Single Best Answer MCQs in Anaesthesia (Volume I - Clinical Anaesthesia, ISBN 978-1-903378-75-5), this book is an ideal companion for candidates sitting postgraduate examinations in anesthesia, intensive care medicine, and pain management. It will also be a valuable educational resource for all trainees and practising anesthetists.
