Reviews

'This is a book for the trainee to know cover to cover, dipping into relevant sections to reinforce their experience before, during and after an anaesthetic. Consultants will also benefit as it provides a highly practical approach to keeping up to date with developments in anaesthesia outside one's area of day-to-day practice.' - BMA Medical Book Competition 2007

Description

Provides practical guidelines for all anaesthetists, from junior to consultant level
The only truly concise yet comprehensive guide to anaesthetic practice
Includes paediatric and obstetric sections
Includes useful appendices - a checklist of anaesthetic apparatus, an extensive drug formulary, and a list of normal values

New to this edition

Updated throughout with 30% new material
New information on risk, consent, organ donation, anaesthesia for the critically ill patient, and management of perioperative intravenous fluids
New layout and use of colour to add clarity

The Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia has been completely updated for the second edition. All chapters have been rewritten and a number of new expert authors have been brought on board. Additional new material includes anaesthesia for the critically ill, and a comprehensive section on anaesthetic risk including anaesthetic risk tables.

The first section deals with preoperative issues affecting the administration of anaesthesia. Practical advice is provided covering the impact of medical disease on anaesthesia. The second section describes practical anaesthetic techniques for surgical specialties, including most subspecialties such as thoracic and neuroanaesthesia. Separate, comprehensive sections on paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia are included.

The management of emergencies arising during anaesthesia are fully covered with helpful action plans and algorithms throughout. Uncommon conditions and their management are included, and there is an extensive drug formulary and guide to infusion drugs.

As with the first edition, this new edition will be the essential handbook for anaesthetists, both junior and experienced, for registrars and those sitting exams, as well as ODPs and nurses involved in theatre area work and pre-assessment. It is the one book for anyone working in anaesthesia to keep to hand at all times!

Readership: Junior and Consultant Anaesthetists. Registrars in Anaesthesia, Critical care and Pain management and those sitting the FRCA examinations. Operating department personnel and nurses involved in theatre area work and pre-assessment.
