The Handbook of Clinical Anesthesia 2e is primarily an aid to those sitting the FRCA examinations. It will also become the one-stop source of reliable clinical information once FRCA accreditation has been achieved. The qualified anesthetists will recognise the same level in-depth coverage of all aspects from basic sciences, pharmacology and physiology, through to case-by-case anesthetic management plans that made the first edition such a success. The reader will find the Handbook an indispensable aide-memoire, providing all the essential practical knowledge required by the anesthetist on co-existing medical conditions, operative procedures and techniques.
