Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text is aimed primarily at the medical student and is designed to provide concise, accessible information on the scientific and clinical background to the modern practice of anaesthesia. Knowledge of anaesthesia for the undergraduate, most of whom do not intend to become anaesthetists, must be concentrated. This volume emphasizes those parts of the subject that any doctor should know: selection and preparation of the patient for anaesthesia; resuscitation of the apparently dead; management of postoperative complications; pain management. This new edition includes two new guidelines for the management of cardiorespiratory arrest: postoperative pain with its iatrogenic complications, and anaphyloxis.
