Riassunto

This pocket-sized comprehensive classic, crammed with useful facts, is back in a fully-updated 13th edition. Ideal for the practising anaesthetist or senior trainee, it covers a vast range of topics in a clear, concise and readable style. Focusing on the practical rather than the theoretical, it discusses both rare and common conditions. General sections cover topics such as preparation, techniques, post-operative care and pain management, whilst other sections discuss anaesthesia for specific operations and situations.

Highly templated approach to each chapter

Pocketbook size retained for the new edition

Dictionary of rare medical diseases (separate lists for adult and paediatric) included in the appendices

Key up-to-date references included at the end of each chapter

For the first time the book will change to a multi-contributed format

New section on Training and Standards

Over 100 new illustrations

More tables and boxes included throughout

Useful websites listed in the appendices
