Description
This practical illustrated guide covers all the commonly used procedures that technicians and trainee anaesthetists and intensivists need to learn, many of which have to be practised for the first time in an emergency. Many of these procedures are in themselves life-threatening, and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The book brings together a whole range of specialty areas, covering intravascular access, thoracic and abdominal procedures, airway management, nerve blocks, monitoring of intracranial pressure, plus useful tables and appendices. It contains a step-by-step presentation of the techniques involved to aid students' understanding of even the most difficult practical procedures, and is illustrated with specially prepared diagrams, photographs and x-rays.
