In recent years methods of anaesthesia with reduced fresh gas flows and closed rebreathing systems have been viewed with increasing interest. However, as a great many anaesthetists are not familiar with the techniques of Low Flow, Minimal Flow and Closed System anaesthesia, some concerns have been expressed about their use. Although this alternative approach to anaesthesia may call for a reappraisal of current practice, the advantage of economies in the use of gases, tightened occupational safety regulations as well as environmental considerations provide compelling reasons for an exploration of these methods. 'Low Flow Anaesthesia: the Theory and Practice of Low Flow, Minimal Flow and Closed System Anaesthesia' is one of the few monographs providing a comprehensive overview of the subject. After an initial discussion of theoretical fundamentals, the author proceeds to a detailed appraisal of problems arising in clinical practice. Different types of modern anaesthetic machines and monitoring systems are examined in detail and the text is rounded off by a look at future developments in the field. Originally published in German, this updated English edition has been revised in collaboration with a well-respected UK consultant anaesthetist and should prove essential reading for all anaesthetists, both in training and in practice.
