Description
It incorporates all that is relevant within the specialty in a structured, concise and instructive way. But now concentrates on the practical rather than the theoretical aspects. The format is very succinct using bullet points, summary boxes, lists and illustrations, to make it a useful revision companion, or aide memoir to clinical practice. The popular history section has been completely removed and published as a separate book: "A Short History of Anaesthesia".
