Anatomy for Anaesthetists

The anaesthetist requires a peculiarly specialized knowledge of anatomy. Some regions of the body, for example the respiratory passages, the major veins and peripheral nerves, he must know with an intimate detail which rivals that of the surgeon; other areas he may all but ignore. This text provides the detailed anatomical knowledge which an anaesthetist needs as a background to his daily work and in this new edition, the text has been carefully revised.
