Product Description

This is a new edition of a very successful textbook aimed at residents taking the Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and/or similar type exams. The examination has changed since the current edition was published moving from a three part exam to a two part one, with Part 1 now having a much greater basic science content. The new edition should consolidate the book's position as the dominant text for Part 1 of the FRCA. It is also highly suitable for exams such as the Diploma of Anaesthesiology of the European Academy of Aneaesthesiology.

Review
"It is a real pleasure to see the most recent edition of what I regard as the essential textbook of anaesthesia for perioperative practitioners.
Trainee nurses and ODPs, as well as qualified staff refreshing and expanding their knowledge, will find this book a valuable asset and a worthy investment." "Marilyn Williams, Chairman, NATN Editorial Board," British Journal of Perioperative Nursing, January 2004

Customer Reviews

Excellent starter
This is a great book to help you in Anaesthetics.
It's not as in depth as A-Z, and probably shouldn't be used in isolation if going for part 1's, but otherwise it is very well put together and easy to digest.

Usefulnes and Relevance for anaesthetists in training
This book was thoroughly useful and a great asset to me whilst training in anaesthetics. The questions were thought-provoking and the answers so similar that huge amounts of energy had to be put in to achieve the correct answer. Of course, all of these points are very relevant when studying for medicine, and anaesthesia in particular.

I hope very much that a third edition will be published with the new Textbook.

Good basic textbook
This is an excekllent textbook for those starting off in anaesthesia. It covers the basic sciences quite well.

However, the text is not deep enough for the primary FRCA.
