This book describes the provision of anesthesia and analgesia for patients presenting as emergencies. Patients commonly come to the emergency room with conditions requiring local or general anesthesia. Close cooperation is essential between the anesthetist and the emergency room staff if anesthesia and analgesia are to be dealt with efficiently and safely. Consideration must always be given to the broader medical management of the patient and priorities adhered to. The authors provide a concise guide to anesthesia and pain relief in emergency medicine. The emphasis is on the practical management of problems. Clear instructions on the treatment of common conditions and anesthetic support for emergency procedures are supplemented by key points, lists, boxes, and detailed illustrations.
