Description:

For the second edition, the Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia has been fully revised. All chapters were revised and a variety of new experienced writers were taken on board. Anaesthesia for the chronically ill and a detailed section on anaesthetic risk including anaesthetic risk tables are included in adding new content. The first segment deals with preoperative complications surrounding anaesthesia management. Practical guidance on the effect of medical illness on anaesthesia is given. Practical anaesthetic procedures for surgical specialities are listed in the second section, including most subspecialties, such as thoracic and neuro anaesthesia. It contains independent, detailed sections on paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia. Helpful response plans and algorithms are thoroughly concerned with the handling of emergencies occurring during anaesthesia. Uncommon scenarios and their treatment are included and a detailed dosage form and guide for infusion drugs are available. As with the first edition, this latest edition will be the basic medical textbook for both junior and seasoned anaesthetists, for registrars and sitting examinations, as well as for ODPs and nurses engaged in practise and pre-assessment in the theatre field. For those involved with anaesthesia, it is the only book to have on hand at all times!
