Description
An updated second edition of the popular 'red book' revision aid, developed specifically for those preparing for the Final FFICM structured oral examination. Written and edited by three consultant intensivists and designed in the style of the viva, it provides model answers which feature summaries of the relevant evidence to guide trainees in their preparation for the exam. The 98 topics and questions specifically tackle clinical aspects of the exam and each chapter is structured to facilitate productive revision. Core concepts are expanded to ensure detailed explanations, and enhanced by figures and tables to promote visual learning. Now featuring seven new chapters, this text is an invaluable revision aid to those studying for the Final FFICM and, more widely, trainees revising for the Final FRCA, as it covers popular and commonly occurring ICM topics featuring in the anaesthetic fellowship exams.
