Main description:

The fifth edition of this comprehensive review of anaesthesia provides trainees with the latest information and developments in the field.

Divided into two sections, the first part of the book discusses anaesthetic care for diseases and disorders across 41 cases. The second section covers the complete range of anaesthesia equipment.

The text has been fully revised and this edition includes topics such as morbid obesity, traumatic brain injury, airway management, and chronic kidney disease (Section 1); and pulmonary function tests, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, video laryngoscopes, and oxygen therapy devices (Section 2).

The book is presented in an easy to follow question and answer format, with emphasis on topics often encountered in examinations.

The practical text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to assist learning.
