An understanding of physiology underpins the modern practice of anaesthesia, but most trainees and juniors have to resort to standard physiology texts as information sources in everyday practice. Such texts are comprehensive but often large and unwieldy and not suited either for quick reference to a specific problem encountered on the wards or for rapid, targeted revision. This book adopts a problem-oriented approach to cover only the aspects of physiology that are of immediate relevance to the anaesthetic trainee and junior practising anaesthetist, from the essentials of neurotransmission to the physiology of pregnancy, and explains how changes in physiology affect anaesthetic practice.
