This text provides quick access to information regarding anaesthetic administration and management of the patient during the various phases of ambulatory surgery. The book is divided into three sections: "Pre-operative and intraoperative care" focuses upon the preparation and delivery of anaesthesia to the patient; "Post-operative care and special procedures" covers post-anaesthesia recovery and the relief of acute post-operative pain; and "Administrative issues" reviews the management of an ambulatory anaesthesia department.
