Description
Anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery has evolved rapidly during recent years and has become a subject of considerable interest and importance to anaesthetists and surgeons alike. Not only have general anaesthetic techniques become more specialized, but surgeons and anaesthetists have been involved in improving the safety and efficacy of local anaesthetic blocks and day surgery procedures. Illustrated throughout, this book is designed for trainee and practising anaesthetists, ophthalmologists and all surgeons treating patients who require effective treatment to the eyes or surrounding area. The book reviews the rationale, techniques and complications of the more recently introduced regional blocks and changing general anaesthetic methods and is divided into three sections: general anaesthesia; local anaesthesia; and physiology of the eye. Each section is balanced with a combination of scientific information and clinical detail. Emphasis is placed upon anatomy, local anaesthesia, physiology and pharmacology.
