The book covers the complete field from techniques and post-surgical recovery, to pharmacology, non-technical skills and medicolegal issues.

This new volume features chapters on new technologies to secure the airway, tubeless anaesthesia for laryngeal surgery, delirium in critical care, anaesthetic implications in robotic pelvic surgery, advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, opioid free anaesthesia, and many more topics.
