Anaesthesia can be daunting for the novice - not least because they
often begin working singlehandedly within a few weeks.
How to Survive in Anaesthesia
is a pocket sized book written by 3 authors who have nearly 90 years
experience of anaesthesia between them. It covers basic aspects of
airway and fluid management and equipment, followed by common
emergencies. Finally it tackles all the common surgical specialties step
by step. It is always practical, ever contemporary, frequently amusing.
It provides safe and practical advice to not only help novices survive
those first few months - but to enjoy them too.

gathered momentum across the globe. Now the fourth edition has been
revised and updated, responding to changes in practice and new
requirements. New features for this edition include:
