This companion volume to Lee's Synopsis of Anaesthesia has been developed to enable the reader to check how much of the factual information from the Synopsis has been retained. This does not, of course, cover the whole area of anaesthesia contained in the Synopsis, which includes much about the art of the subject, and the wisdom of many years of experience, both of which are difficult to test. Nevertheless, the area of anaesthesia rests firmly on a database of scientific knowledge. Such background knowledge is most easily tested by the MCQ format, presented here. The questions have been carefully formatted in a friendly way, to help develop the reader's knowledge of the subject, and are therefore slightly different from 'exam' questions. They are designed to augment what you have gleaned from the Synopsis, rather than to test in a destructive or competitive sense. This little book is unashamedly dedicated to improving the quality of anaesthesia. It is also dedicated to helping students of anaesthesia pass exams, which has been the long-term aim of the Synopsis itself! On each question, there is the briefest reference to the page of the Synopsis to which the question refers. After each question, a brief explanation of the reason for a statement being false is frequently included. The answers on the right-hand side of the page may be covered up by a card or ruler, while the statement is assessed, and then checked against the reader's views.

The Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia has been completely updated for the second edition. All chapters have been rewritten and a number of new expert authors have been brought on board. Additional new material includes anaesthesia for the critically ill, and a comprehensive section on anaesthetic risk including anaesthetic risk tables. The first section deals with preoperative issues affecting the administration of anaesthesia. Practical advice is provided covering the impact of medical disease on anaesthesia. The second section describes practical anaesthetic techniques for surgical specialties, including most subspecialties such as thoracic and neuroanaesthesia. Separate, comprehensive sections on paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia are included. The management of emergencies arising during anaesthesia are fully covered with helpful action plans and algorithms throughout. Uncommon conditions and their management are included, and there is an extensive drug formulary and guide to infusion drugs. As with the first edition, this new edition will be the essential handbook for anaesthetists, both junior and experienced, for registrars and those sitting exams, as well as ODPs and nurses involved in theatre area work and pre-assessment. It is the one book for anyone working in anaesthesia to keep to hand at all times!
