Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This text provides a clear and comprehensive understanding of physics and its clinical application for safe and reliable anaesthetic practice. The fourth edition of this text includes a new section on magnetic resonance imaging and additional material on monitoring depth of anaesthesia. It also features descriptions of new apparatus, with the retention of information on older types of equipment for the demonstration of physical principles.
