It also includes the related areas of intensive care and chronic pain relief and the latest guidelines for doctors on the management of cardiac arrest."Clinical Anaesthesia" gives detailed advice on:* anaesthetic assessment and premedication* managing the airway* inducing and maintaining anaesthesia* measurement and monitoring ot anaesthesia* intravenous cannulation and fluid administration* positioning the patient for surgery* post-anaesthesia care* anaesthetic room emergencies* drugs and techniques for muscle relaxation, analgesia and local and regional anaesthesia* principles and practice of intensive care* relief of chronic pain* cardiopulmonary resuscitation
