Description
The objective of this book is to cover the scientific foundations upon which are based the clinical practice of anaesthesia, resuscitation and the care of acutely ill patients in intensive care units. The contributors aim to illustrate what happens as well as explain why and how it happens. It is necessary for the reader to have some knowledge of physics, mathematics and measurement techniques and therefore chapters on the relevant aspects of these subjects have been included. Each chapter is complete in itself and authors have given a list of key references for further reading that might be of value to anaesthetists.
