The care of the surgical patient in the peri-operative period forms the basis of the second part of the new FRCS examination. All the major textbooks of surgery cover this topic but there is need for an accessible vade-mecum for use on the ward and as a revision aid. This book (the first edition of which was published privately by the authors) provides an easy-to-use guide to the peri-operative patient. It takes a problem-oriented approach, guiding the surgeon through a logical sequence of steps for the management of individual conditions. The text is presented in note form with flow diagrams.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I think it is particularly important in view of the new style second part FRCS, and in management of patients...I could see it being the sort of thing people would carry around in their white coat pocket!
Professor A.G. Johnson, Professor of Surgery, Univ
...very useful for the candidate to read just before the exam so that he can find out whether he already knew anything or have his memory refreshed about those which he had forgotten.
