The 'Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia' continues to provide state of the art information on anaesthetic practice. The third edition has a new colour layout and includes new topics on risk, consent, organ donation, anaesthesia for the critically ill patient, and management of perioperative IV fluids.
What do anaesthetists do? How do anaesthetics work? What are the risks? And how does the anaesthetist know if you are really asleep? Anaesthesia is a mysterious and sometimes threatening process. In this Very Short Introduction, Aidan O'Donnell takes the reader on a tour through the whole of the modern anaesthetic practice.
