Main description:

First prize in Anaesthesia in the 2019 BMA Medical Book Awards!

Here's what the reviewers said:

"It is so easy to pick up and check things, and the illustrations and drawing instructions have allowed me to do my own drawings and learn how to label them."

This book provides you with simple instructions on how to draw and interpret the crucial anatomy you need for your anaesthetic training.

Covers all the relevant anatomy in:

Head, neck and neuro - from Circle of Willis to cervical plexus
Vertebral column - from the spinal cord to the sacrum
Cardiac - coronary arteries and venous drainage of the heart
Airway and respiratory - from airway sensation to the diaphragm
Abdomen - from the abdominal aorta to the nephron, via a TAP block
Limbs - from blood vessels in the arms to the ankle, via the femoral canal

For the majority of sections, in addition to a simple drawing and detailed explanation, there are also step-by-step illustrations to show you how to draw the anatomy yourself - this active learning will deepen your understanding of the subject and improve your recall for potential viva questions!

**Now updated to include laryngoscopic vocal cords**
