About this title

Synopsis

Anaesthesia is a technical and complex specialty. As time progresses, every practitioner discovers effective, common sense ways to deal with challenging situations. Many of these tips (how to do it) and caveats (how not to do it!) are simply passed on by word of mouth to colleagues, juniors and others. Most of them are not big enough to warrant publication in journals and so remain part of oral medical history, some surviving only within a single unit or institution. This small book aims to enable these tips to be shared among a much wider audience.

About the Authors

Having worked, trained and taught in several excellent centres (Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge and the University of Washington, where he was Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology), Tom Perris is now a consultant in Anaesthetics at the Gloucester Royal Hospital. He divides his time between operating theatres and the intensive care unit, where his interests are in regional anaesthesia alongside trauma and resuscitation. He holds the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (UK).

Having completed his medical training in Wales in 1989, Scott Brudney then moved to London, spending four years in hospital medicine. On completing his anaesthetic training, in 2000 he moved to Duke University Medical Center, where he is Assistant Clinical Professor and Medical Director of the VA SICU, dividing his time between ICU and theatres, whilst teaching and conducting research.
