Many trainees in anaesthesia approach the clinical year with trepidation. Of all the medical specialties this is arguably the most intimidating how do you put in a line without breaking a vein; indeed, how do you find the vein? How do you assess the patient accurately so as to avoid life threatening mistakes with the analgesics? How do you perform a tracheal intubation? These and other nerve-wracking scenarios confront trainees as soon as they start their practical year. Yet the basics of anaesthetic practice are not part of the early curriculum; they are a "learning on the job" experience. How to Survive in Anaesthesia was written to answer the questions that newly qualified anaesthetists need answers to but may be too embarrassed to ask. Through three editions its popularity has 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: A new introduction on the theatre environment A new chapter on local anaesthetic toxicity The latest guidelines on intravenous fluids Updated information on airway procedures and equipment Written in an easy, humorous style by leading anaesthetists who have over 90 years' experience between them, this book is the junior anaesthetist's gateway to sound authoritative advice on how to perform anaesthetics in real life. It will inspire confidence in any new doctor starting in the specialty.
