Summary |
"This is a concise, accessible introduction to the essentials of anesthesia, suitable for medical students, junior doctors and all operating theater staff. It provides a brief, broad overview of the science and practice of anesthesia without overwhelming the reader with intimidating detail. Clinical vignettes give a very real introduction to the practicalities of anesthesia and will give the non-anesthetist physician an idea of how to prepare a patient for a surgical procedure."--BOOK JACKET |
