Main description:

This text is a comprehensive revision tool for trainees preparing for examinations in anaesthesiology.

Presented in question and answer format, the book provides a selection of 50 long and short cases in line with current curricula.

Each case presents a different topic covering anaesthesia associated with a range of different disorders in all systems of the body, and in different sectors of the population.

Cases cover both routine and more complicated procedures in common and less common disorders.

The text is further enhanced by more than 60 photographs and diagrams to assist learning and revision.
