Designed for ease of use and rapid reference, this guide contains useful information intended to be of use to residents and anesthesiologists. Containing a mixture of text, tables, flowcharts and management protocols, this pocket resource covers all aspects of the anaesthetic management of the patient during the perioperative period. It provides important details, normally only found in larger references and texts, on such topics as preoperative conditions, pharmacology, physiology, pathophysiology and state-of-the-art anaesthetic techniques. Other topics described include: key anatomical features; malignant hypothermia; sickle cell; renal function; evoked potential; obstetric anaesthesia; and trauma.
