Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Foundations of Anesthesia: Integrated Basic and Clinical Sciences emphasises the principles and clinical applications of the four major areas of basic science that are relevant to anaesthesia practice: molecular and cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, and physics and measurement. The approach is integrated and systems oriented, avoiding the artificial boundaries between the basic sciences. Recognising that no single author possesses the breadth and depth of understanding of all relevant subjects, each chapter is authored by an expert in that area. These authorities represent many of the finest institutions of North America and the United Kingdom. This allows an international presentation of current anaesthesia science presented by relevant experts at the cutting edge of anaesthesia research and education. Features: * Gives the complete and latest scientific knowledge necessary for anesthetic practice * Presents in one book all that the anesthetist needs for qualifying exams and practice * User-friendly style with outstanding explanatory colour graphics * Internationally renowned team of contributors ensure comprehensive coverage
