The most important advances in anaesthesia in recent years have come not from the introduction of new drugs but from the better use of existing agents. Such progress has been made possible only by increased awareness of their effects, the applications of pharmacokinetic principles and better understanding of the mechanisms of action. The second edition of this successful book contains a wealth of useful information and provides new insight into the mechanisms of action of these drugs. All the material has been revised, and new chapters on pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, membrane transfer of drugs, and principles of drug metabolism and excretion included.
