Anaesthesia Science presents the scientific foundations upon which the clinical practice of anaesthesia and care of the critically ill are based.
Written on the basis that basic science underlies the practice of anaesthesia, Anaesthesia Science provides detailed coverage on less well appreciated aspects of the subject, such as the microcirculation, multi-organ failure, and the theory of pain. The book thoroughly integrates the clinical practice of anaesthesia with basic sciences, providing all the information needed in one convenient source. Furthermore the contributors, who feature some of the world’s most eminent anaesthesiologists, consistently include salient features of the scientific foundations of anaesthesia in their discussions.
Anaesthesia Science is based on the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA) syllabus and aimed at trainee anaesthetists preparing for the FRCA, the European Diploma of Anaesthesiology and other equivalent examinations.
