Description
This edition of the standard textbook has been updated to reflect the best of international practice by including additional material from prominent authorities in America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. The structure has been revised to improve the integration of basic principles and practical applications. Regional anaesthesia has been given a major section of its own, and intensive care treatment is covered in depth. Among the new topics covered are the depth of anaesthesia, monitoring, anaesthesia and pre-existing disease, anaesthesia in the Third World and medico-legal problems. Major subjects examined include the fundamentals of anaesthesia, the pre-operative period, the process of anaesthesia and complications, special problems inherent in the patient, anaesthesia for particular operations and procedures, regional anaesthesia, the postoperative period and the intensive care unit.
