Description
General anaesthesia is devoted to providing the consultant anaesthetist with a comprehensive, up-to-date information concerning the state of the speciality of anaesthesia. It is comprehensive in scope and provides information at an advanced level. This is one of the few, if not the only, comprehensive textbook which is primarily designed with the consultant anaesthetist in mind. Thus the scope and material is more far reaching and acquires greater depth than current texts available. There are UK texts of similar size and coverage (eg Nimmo); there are US texts (eg Miller; Barash): this is the only international text of substance.
