Book SynopsisWhat do anaesthetists do? How does anaesthesia work? What are the risks? And how does the anaesthetist know if you are really asleep? Anaesthesia is a mysterious and sometimes threatening process. In this Very Short Introduction, Aidan O''Donnell takes the reader on a tour through the whole of the modern anaesthetic practice. He begins by explaining general anaesthesia: what it is, how it is produced, and how it differs from natural sleep and other forms of unconsciousness. He goes on to consider the main categories of anaesthetic drugs, including anaesthetic vapours, intravenous agents, muscle relaxants, and analgesics, together with explanations of how they work and what their purpose is. Set against the historical background of anaesthetic and surgical practice, O''Donnell examines the large role anaesthetists play in specialised areas such as intensive care medicine, pain medicine, and childbirth; and finally, he considers the risks of anaesthesia, putting in to context that anaesthesia is a very safe process.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.Trade ReviewOverall, this is an excellent book. It certainly will help to demystify the practice of anaesthesia and provide insight into the challenges faced by the anaesthetist. * M. Chikhani, British Journal of Anaesthesia *The book is understandable and enjoyable to read ... It would make a useful addition to the reading list of any medical student, and a welcomed gift for the non-medical reader. * British Journal of Anaesthesia *The interesting information in this little book would appeal to experts and laypeople alike. Consisting of 146 pages including a glossary, chapter-by-chapter suggestions for further reading and an index, this book clearly shows the extent to which the anaesthetist is involved in a patient's survival, because of their special knowledge of pharmacology, physiology and the treatment of pain. Anaesthesia: A Very Short Introduction would be a very good book to have in any school library or careers office. * New Zealand Anaesthesia *The book manages to explain the mechanics of anaesthesia in succinct and comprehensive language. * Royal College of Anaesthetists Bulletin *[O'Donnell] explains scientific theories clearly, simplifying them whilst ensuring that all key points and details are included. * Anaesthesia *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIntensive care medicine is a dynamic and evolving specialty, requiring its practitioners to be part physician, physiologist and anaesthetist. This requires a firm foundation of knowledge and an ability to apply this to the clinical situation. This book contains 270 multiple choice questions allowing self-assessment of the breadth of knowledge required of the modern intensivist. The book is divided into three papers each consisting of 60 multiple true false (MTF) and 30 single best answer (SBA) questions covering areas including resuscitation, diagnosis, disease management, organ support, and ethical and legal aspects of practice. The MTF questions test factual knowledge and understanding of the evidence base underpinning intensive care medicine, while the SBA questions test the ability of the candidate to prioritise, compete options and make the best decision for the patient. Each question is peer reviewed and accompanied by concise and detailed explanatory notes with references to guide further reading. All the authors are practising intensive care physicians with first-hand experience of professional examinations in the specialty. This book will appeal to intensive care physicians approaching professional examinations worldwide, including the European Diploma, American Board and Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine examinations.

Book SynopsisGraphic Anaesthesia is a compendium of the diagrams, graphs, equations and tables needed in anaesthetic practice. Each page covers a separate topic to aid rapid review and assimilation. The relevant illustration, equation or table is presented alongside a short description of the fundamental principles of the topic and with clinical applications where appropriate. Now fully updated, this second edition contains 35 new topics, including significant additions to the drugs and equipment sections, and new sections on clinical prediction and anatomy related to regional anaesthesia. The book includes main sections on: physiology pharmacodynamics and kinetics physics equipment anatomy drugs clinical measurement clinical prediction statistics. By combining all the illustrations, equations and tables with concise, clinically relevant explanations, Graphic Anaesthesia is therefore: the ideal revision book for all anaesthetists in training a valuable aide-memoire for senior anaesthetists to use when teaching and examining trainees. From reviews of the previous edition: "Graphic Anaesthesia is a well-written, easy-to-read book, ideal for trainees studying for primary FRCA examinations... It will be an ideal companion for preparing for exams." Ulster Medical Journal, May 2016 "Graphic Anaesthesia is an excellent revision tool that allows trainees approaching exams to prepare in an efficient and simple format. It is a refreshing and unique resource that should be included on any essential revision reading list." European Journal of Anaesthesiology 2016; 33: 610. "The diagrams are very clear, the explanations accurate and concise and to pack 245 items into a small reference book is no mean feat…. Each diagram is drawn in just four colours to enable them to be reproduced easily from memory. This intuitive approach was an eye-opener to me and a valuable lesson in simplicity without losing any essential detail. This is something from which many educators could learn and indeed transfer that skill…This is a quality book that could be a useful investment across the spectrum of practitioners involved in anaesthesia and the teaching of anaesthesia." Journal of Perioperative Practice March 2017, volume 27, issue 3Trade ReviewFive-star reviews: Recommended! "Great book with excellent diagrams. Very easy to understand. Missing topics such as immunity etc, but they don't lend themselves to very simple diagrams and you have to draw a line somewhere in what you choose not to include!" Amazon reviewer Hidden gem "This was recommended by a friend who has passed the exams. This book is great for summary. So what I did was I read one of the other text books on the topic and this book helps direct me to how to answer during the exams" Amazon reviewer Excellent book "Summarises key topics and shows clear pictures and graphs suitable for primary FRCA. Highly recommend and wished I'd have had it earlier in the exam process." Amazon reviewer Excellent for OSCE viva "Excellent! Great diagrams to focus your Viva answers" Amazon reviewer Five Stars "Excellent book for revision." Amazon reviewer A must have book for primary FRCA "Clearly explains, with well drawn diagrams, many of the important aspects of the exam syllabus in a friendly, easy to read format." Amazon reviewer Essential revision resource! "Clear diagrams and concise text with great layout. Brings together all the different areas of the curriculum into one book, which makes it ideal for Primary FRCA revision. I particularly like the anatomy section, this is something which is hard to find in in a useful format in other books. Lots of useful comparison tables. Wish I'd had it from the beginning of my revision!" Amazon reviewerThis second edition book remains true to its original idea: to present concepts using figures, then explain the material in an easy-to-read, enjoyable fashion.

Book SynopsisWith more than 950 questions, and containing diagrams found in the actual exam, this book encompasses the syllabus of the Final FRCA as set by the Royal College of Anaesthetists, including five complete examinations, each comprising of 90 MCQs. Questions have been modelled on actual exam questions so that they accurately reflect the style and level of difficulty. In addition to providing concise answers there are also links and references, tips for learning and advice on how to approach the examination. Trade Review... the content and breadth of subject provided by this book is excellent. Reading through the question papers felt like a return to attempting the College papers again. The style of both the question posed and five following stems is well-mirrored to that of the College. The level of detailed knowledge demonstrated in this text is appropriate to the level of the Final FRCA, with occasional completely random anaesthetic or critical care facts that are often bemoaned by candidates in the real thing! There has been a niche in the marketplace for an up-to-date MCQ textbook for a number of years; previous candidates have relied on older publications with irrelevant or now defunct question bases. It is refreshing to finally see a text which addresses this problem and candidates will be gratefully for this new source of MCQ revision... this textbook will become one of the 'must-haves' for Final FRCA candidates. It is modernised, relevant, appropriately detailed and accurate, and left me wishing that it had been present at the time of my exam. -- Dr James Shorthouse MBBS BSc(Hons) FRCA, August 2010 5 Stars: Essential aid to Final FRCA revisionIt is rare to find an MCQ book for the Final FRCA, where the questions match the content and depth of knowledge demanded by the College so accurately. Get Through Final FRCA is pitched at exactly the right level, and with 450 MCQ stems, it gives candidates an ample number of questions to get their teeth into.What sets this book apart from similar multiple choice question books are the detailed answers. These include thorough explanations and further revision material including tables and mnemonics, which are ideal to help increase your basic knowledge of an area when time is short. For more detailed revision, references are provided. An extra useful resource is the comprehensive list of up-to-date guidelines and recommendations that is included at the start of the book ... invaluable to exam preparation, especially for the SAQ and viva parts of the exam.I would recommend this book to candidates preparing for the MCQ part of the final FRCA, for the sheer volume of questions and for the further scope for revision it provides. -- Victoria Wroe MBBS MRCP FRCA - ST4 Anaesthetics 5 Stars: Essential reading for the final MCQ paper!Excellent MCQ book, mainly because the answers are extremely well written. The review of recent important literature at the back of the book is particularly good and saved me hours of trawling through journals. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone sitting the Final FRCA. -- Amazon customer review, Sept 10 5 StarsA succinct and comprehensive book along with fully informative and updated notes and explanations. The questions are well thought out and brilliantly framed. The ready-made list elucidating the guidelines and current evidence at the beginning is actually the highlight of the book, which will also come in handy for SOE preparation.I would most definitely recommend this book for Final FRCA SAQ/MCQ candidates as well as those wishing to seek a list of latest guidelines. -- Amazon customer review, Sept 10 5 Stars: A lot more than just MCQsGet Through Final FRCA: MCQs has been well thought out and researched. The questions are relevant, up to date and varied covering both primary and final topics. The framework for the 450 questions is similar to the real deal and is therefore good practice. The answers are well written ... and references at the end of every explanation made it easier to find more information on the subject.For me what made the book stand out from other books is the list of studies and guidelines relevant to anaesthesia at the end of the book. The fact that the authors are currently still in their rotations and fresh out of their own exam experience has really helped in creating a book that is updated, comprehensive and in sync with the exam. -- Amazon customer review, Oct 10 I would highly recommend this book having used it myself. The explanations are detailed and often act as an opportunity to revise certain key areas required for the exam. It also improves basic knowledge. There are tables, mnemonics and scoring systems and would save the candidate time that would have been spent in looking them up with the questions. I believe it is essential reading material and a wonderful revision tool for everyone planning to take the Final FRCA exam. -- Dr Chima Alexander Oti, Specialist Registrar in Anaesthetics, Oct 10 5 Stars: ExcellentIf colleagues and juniors ask my for a Final FRCA book recommendation, I will without doubt recommend Get Through Final FRCA: MCQs as both an MCQ resource and an overall guide to Finals revision. -- Amazon customer review, Oct 2010Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFeatured as a single volume, this is a comprehensive guide to possible nerve entrapment syndromes and their management. Each chapter covers a single nerve, or group of closely related nerves, and goes over the clinical presentation, anatomy, physical exam, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic/surgical techniques, treatments of perpetuating factors, and complications. Nerve entrapments can occur throughout the body and cause headaches, chest pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, low back pain, and upper and lower extremity pain. As an example, one of the most common forms of nerve entrapment syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, affects roughly 1 in 20 people in the United States, and is only one of several types of entrapment syndromes possible for the median nerve. Chapters are also extensively illustrated and include 3D anatomical images. The additional online material enhances the book with more than 50 videos - at least 2 for each nerve. This enables readers to easily navigate the book. In addition to a conventional index it includes a “Pain Problems Index” for searching by symptom. Peripheral Nerve Entrapments: Clinical Diagnosis and Management is a long-needed resource for pain physicians, emergency room physicians, and neurologists.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Part One Peripheral Nerve Entrapments – General Principles Andrea M.
