Principls of Physiology for the Anaesthetist is designed and written specifically with the trainee anaesthetist in mind. Ian Power and Peter Kam, anaesthetists with extensive experience of teaching physiology, have written this book to improve understanding of the fundamentals of human physiology in relation to the work of the anaesthetist. Diagrams are used throughout to support the text and to aid understanding of difficult concepts. In addition to the physiology of all major organ systems, there are special sections on the physiology of pain, the physiology of ageing and physiological effects of specific environments. Principles of Physiology for the Anaesthetist is an invaluable reference throughout anaesthetic training and beyond, and a useful revision aid.

This book provides readers with an anaesthesia-focused alternative to general physiology textbooks. The new edition has been reorganised with the trainee anaesthesist in mind, into shorter bite-sized chapters ideal for exam revision. The content includes the physiology of all major organ systems, with specific emphasis on the nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems as well as special sections on pain, aging, specific environments and obesity. Alongside the learning objectives, reflection points and a handy summary of physiological equations and tables, there is greater emphasis on clinical application in this fourth edition, with applied physiology included in almost every section.

Principles of Physiology for the Anaesthetist, now in its Third Edition, continues to provide candidates with a "tailor-made" alternative to more general physiology textbooks and delivers information designed and written specifically with the trainee anaesthetist in mind. The book covers the physiology of all major organ systems, with specific emphasis on the nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. In addition, special sections on the physiology of pain, the physiology of ageing, and the physiological effects of specific environments―all highly relevant to anaesthetic practice―have been incorporated. The third edition builds upon several new features introduced in the last edition: learning objectives, areas for reflection, and a handy summary of physiological equations and tables. Copious diagrams throughout support the text and aid in the understanding of difficult concepts. The authors integrate their teaching experience in physiology into the content to improve the understanding of the fundamentals of human physiology in relation to the work of the anaesthetist. This book will remain an invaluable reference throughout anaesthetic training and beyond, as well as a useful revision aid.
