Description
An introductory text which provides an authoritative and complete overview of theory and practice in anaesthesia. A key feature is new chapters which reflect important changes in professional practice; eg acute postoperative pain management, organ transplantation and anaesthesia for procedures performed outside the operating room. The anaesthetic management of the trauma patient is new to the chapter on critical care medicine.
