Anaesthesia is an evolving medical speciality, with new drugs, techniques, and equipment constantly being sought to improve patient safety and outcomes.
In this book, Australasian medical students, junior hospital doctors working in anaesthesia and critical care, and anaesthesia nurses and technicians will find a succinct and readable introduction to the principles and practice of anaesthesia.
The book is structured as follows. It opens with an overview of general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, and sedation. Requisite knowledge of physiology and pharmacology is outlined. Comprehensive coverage is then provided of core topics: perioperative management of patients undergoing surgical procedures, anaesthetic techniques, anaesthetic sub-specialities, pain, anaesthetic equipment, and the anaesthetic environment.
