Full Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to the equipment and procedures used in anaesthesia.Beginning with an introduction to anaesthesia, the following chapters provide in depth discussion on the different equipment and techniques including medical gases, the anaesthesia machine, airway equipment, monitoring equipment, and procedures for central neuraxial and regional blocks, such as epidurals. The final section describes maintenance, safety and hazards.This practical reference includes a DVD-ROM demonstrating procedures and nearly 850 images, illustrations and tables.Key pointsPractical guide to equipment and procedures in anaesthesiaCovers all equipment for gas, airway, monitoring and moreIncludes DVD-ROM demonstrating proceduresNearly 850 images, illustrations and tables
