Description

With a focus on the perioperative care of the surgical patient, this new second edition provides a contemporary, patient-oriented approach to the discipline of anaesthesiology. Its practical, comprehensive coverage of the approach to the patient, anaesthetic care, specialty areas, postoperative recovery and complications, and much more make it ideal for all members of the anaesthesia care team. The easy-to-follow text demonstrates a logical approach to patient care, giving a "real world" approach to the clinical practice of anaesthesia.
