Description
Now there is greater awareness and interest in these techniques, with more highly advanced anaesthetic machines available, and anaesthestists being more under pressure to be economical with anaesthetic gases. This comprehensive guide to the equipment used and the implementation of techniques in clinical practice has been revised throughout, bringing it up to date with the advances in technology and gases since publication of the first edition. This book will be an essential purchase for both the trainee and the experienced anaesthetist who will benefit from the author's expertise, giving them the confidence to incorporate these techniques into their own practice. It also will serve as a reference book for medical engineers and technicians.
