Textbook of Anaesthesia

This edition is designed for the FCA Part 1 exam and all equivalents around the world. The book covers the whole range of anaesthesia at a depth that a trainee of up to one year's experience might expect to be examined on. The book presents the subject as an integrated development from the basic sciences, incorporating anatomy, physiology and pharmacology of relevance to anaesthetics. The full scope of anaesthetic practice is then covered, including pre-, intra- and post-operative care of the surgical patient. The coverage also extends to an account of intensive care, chronic pain and selected local anaesthetic blocks.
