Anatomy for Anaesthetists [Hardcover]

Harold Ellis (Author), Stanley Feldman (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0865427216 | ISBN-13: 978-0865427211 | Publication Date: January 30, 1997 | Edition: 7

This book was written to help candidates sitting for their professional examination in anaesthesia, and provides the detailed anatomical knowledge necessary for the daily practice of anaesthesia. Unlike a textbook of anatomy, which must cover all parts of the body with equally exhaustive thoroughness, this book concentrates specifically on areas of particular relevance to anaesthesia, and highlights those features of practical importance to anaesthetic techniques. The text is divided into five sections: the respiratory pathway; the heart; the vertebral canal; the peripheral nerves; and zones of anaesthetic interest. Detailed guidelines for producing local anaesthetic blocks are given throughout the book.
