In combining these aspects, anaesthetists new to the specialty have found the textbook particularly useful during the
first few years of training as well as when preparing for professional examinations.
It has also proved a valuable day-to-day reference for allied professionals such as operating department practitioners
and physician assistants who need an understanding of clinical practice in anaesthesia and related specialties.
The goal for this Seventh Edition has remained to equip the reader with the basic knowledge and practical
considerations required to administer anaesthesia and perioperative care for a whole range of surgical conditions
in patients with all common medical comorbidities. Reflecting the expanding role of anaesthesia beyond the operating
theatre it also includes essential material related to safety and quality assurance, consent, resuscitation,
intensive care medicine, pre-hospital care and chronic pain management.
