This pocket-sized comprehensive classic, crammed with useful facts, is back in a fully-updated 13th edition. Ideal for the practising anaesthetist or senior trainee, it covers a vast range of topics in a clear, concise and readable style. Focusing on the practical rather than the theoretical, it discusses both rare and common conditions. General sections cover topics such as preparation, techniques, post-operative care and pain management, whilst other sections discuss anaesthesia for specific operations and situations.
