Description
Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, volume 23 is the latest volume in this very successful and long-established series (previously entitled Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Analgesia) to present a collection of cutting-edge topics for anaesthetists. It has been compiled by some of the world's leading authorities in their subjects and builds on the successful formula of the previous volumes. As the title suggests, these latest volumes have increased input from the field of intensive care, and the emphasis remains on producing articles of high quality and interest to the reader while providing exceptional value for money. This volume is recommended reading for trainee and practising anaesthetists and intensivists at all levels of experience.
