Main description:

This book is a comprehensive guide to clinical anaesthesia for practitioners and trainees.

Divided into eleven sections, the text begins with a general overview, followed by discussion on anaesthesia delivery systems, monitoring, and equipment. A complete section is dedicated to different drugs used in anaesthesia.

The next section covers anaesthesia for different types of surgeries in various body systems. The remaining chapters detail more subspecialty-specific anaesthesia including cardiac, obstetric, neuro, paediatric, transplant, and regional.

The book concludes with a section on postoperative care.

Authored by highly experienced experts in the field, the text is further enhanced by illustrations and figures to assist learning.
