About this book

Handbook of Anaesthetics is a comprehensive and practical guide designed for medical professionals, students, and practitioners involved in the administration of anaesthesia. Authored by a leading expert in the field, this book provides a thorough overview of the principles and practices of anaesthesia, covering both general and local anaesthetic techniques. The text delves into the pharmacology of anaesthetic agents, their indications, contraindications, and potential complications, ensuring readers are well-equipped to make informed decisions in clinical settings. The handbook is structured to offer clear, concise, and accessible information, making it an invaluable reference for quick consultation as well as in-depth study. It includes detailed instructions on the preparation and administration of various anaesthetic agents, management of patients before, during, and after anaesthesia, and the recognition and treatment of adverse reactions. Special attention is given to the anaesthetic management of different patient populations, including children, the elderly, and those with specific medical conditions. In addition to practical guidance, the book discusses the historical development of anaesthesia, providing context for modern practices. It also addresses the ethical and legal considerations associated with anaesthetic care. Richly illustrated with diagrams and tables, the Handbook of Anaesthetics serves as both a foundational text for those new to the field and a reliable resource for experienced practitioners seeking to update their knowledge. Whether used in the operating theatre, classroom, or for personal study, this handbook remains an essential tool for anyone dedicated to the safe and effective practice of anaesthesia.
