This new and fully updated edition of Anaesthetic Aide-Memoire provides a compilation of key lists, numerical data, physiological and pharmacological formulae, procedural algorithms, important information on illnesses pertaining to anaesthesia, data on equipment, clinical measurement, and intensive care management that will serve as a valuable quick reference for senior anaesthetists in training and for consultants in anaesthesia. It is the ideal first reference source to consult when a fact, statistic, or formula eludes the memory, and as such will also prove to be a useful aid to teaching. It will also be useful for candidates for the FRCA examination who will already understand the basic physiology and pharmacology underpinning anaesthesia but who need reminding occasionally in a clear, concise, didactic way.
Now expanded and updated to reflect the most recent changes in the viva examination, this two volume series is an indispensable aid to success in the anaesthesia viva examinations and appropriate to both the Primary FRCA and the Final FRCA. This first volume covers the essentials of physiology, pharmacology, and statistics and gives the candidate a comprehensive range of possible questions and exemplary model answers to provide the perfect self-learning tool, and it is also useful as a concise reference for the established anaesthetist, being packed with up-to-date information on fundamental questions that face the anaesthetist on a daily basis.
