Anaesthetic Algorithms

The success of the algorithm approach as a means of teaching management strategies has led to their increasing use in teaching texts. In this book strategies are presented in an algorithm method format enabling easy review, access, and revision. The algorithms deal with common anaesthetic problems and include reminders of dangers and controversies. Each algorithm is combined with a page of short notes and a small number of selected references. The text is intended to be an easily accessible reference for practising anaesthetists. In addition, it should be a useful guide for entrance to the F.R.C.A. examination as well as an in-theatre prompt.
