Understanding Anesthetic Equipment & Procedures: A Practical Approach

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.
