Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book was written to help candidates sitting their professional examination in anaesthesia in order that they may have at their disposal the detailed anatomical knowledge necessary for the day to day practice of anaesthesia. Unlike a textbook of anatomy, which must cover all parts of the body with equally exhaustive thoroughness, this book concentrates particularly on areas of special relevance to anaesthesia and points out features of practical improtance to anaesthetic technique. The text is divided into five sections; the respiratory pathway, the heart, the vertebral canal, the peripheral nerves and zones of anaesthetic interest. Throughout the book are detailed guidelines for producing local anaesthetic blocks.
