This highly successful textbook is internationally renowned as a
core text for trainee anaesthetists and is essential reading for
candidates for the Fellowship of Royal College of Anaesthetists and
similar examinations. The previous 6th edition was awarded First
Prize at the BMJ Medical Book awards. The book provides full
coverage of the sciences underpinning practice in anaesthesia,
critical care and pain management together with details of clinical
anaesthesia and perioperative care. In combining these aspects,
anaesthetists new to the specialty have found the textbook
particularly useful during the first few years of training as well
as when preparing for professional examinations. It has also proved
a valuable day-to-day reference for allied professionals such as
operating department practitioners and physician assistants who
need an understanding of clinical practice in anaesthesia and
related specialties. The goal for this Seventh Edition has remained
to equip the reader with the basic knowledge and practical
considerations required to administer anaesthesia and perioperative
care for a whole range of surgical conditions in patients with all
common medical comorbidities. Reflecting the expanding role of
anaesthesia beyond the operating theatre it also includes essential
material related to safety and quality assurance, consent,
resuscitation, intensive care medicine, pre-hospital care and
chronic pain management. The content of each chapter is closely
aligned to the syllabus of the primary FRCA examination. Sample
online questions and answers are provided for each chapter and
linked to the relevant part of each chapter. This book's scope
includes the full range of clinical practice, from anaesthetic
equipment and pre-operative assessment through to post-operative
care, local anaesthesia, anaesthesia for individual specialties and
the management of chronic pain. The text covers the principles of
pharmacology, anaesthetic agents and physics for the anaesthetist.
This Seventh Edition has been restructured into four sections:
Basic Sciences; Physics and Apparatus; Fundamentals of Anaesthesia
and Perioperative Medicine; and Clinical Anaesthesia. There are
four new chapters reflecting the UK postgraduate anaesthetic
examination syllabus and changes in clinical practice. There are:
The older patient; Anaesthesia in low and middle-income areas;
Management of critical incidents; and Data analysis, clinical
trials and statistics. Thirty new contributors provide a new
perspective or contribute new chapters. This edition makes
extensive use of new line drawings and diagrams and, for the first
time, many of these are available in colour. Chapters have been
extensively cross-referenced to aid the reader and avoid repetition
to include substantially more information without increasing the
overall size of the book. The content of each chapter is closely
aligned to the syllabus of the Primary FRCA examination. Sample
online questions and answers are provided for each chapter and
linked to the relevant part of each chapter.
