This is a practical guide to anaesthesia geared toward the junior doctor, operating department assistant or student who is facing their first exposure to this speciality. It gives solutions to the common anaesthetic-related problems, ranging from pre- and post-operative care of patients to being a member of the resuscitation team. It also includes the related areas of intensive care and chronic pain relief and the latest guidelines on the management of cardiac arrest, which all doctors should be able to perform. The book gives detailed advice on: anaesthetic assessment and pre-medication; managing the airway; inducing and maintaining anaesthesia; measurement and monitoring 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; the relief of chronic pain; and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Part 1 General anaesthesia: anaesthetic assessment and premedication - the pre-operative visit, the anaesthetic history and examination, special investigations, medical referral, risk assessment, informing the patient, pre-medication; the delivery of anaesthetic gases and vapours - the delivery of gases to the operating theatre, the role of the anaesthetic machine, checking the anaesthetic machine, anaesthetic breathing systems, mechanical ventilation, scavenging; managing the airway - basic techniques, simple adjuncts, laryngeal mask airway, tracheal intubation, emergency airway techniques; induction of anaesthesia - intravenous anaesthetic (induction) agents, sodium thiopentone, etomidate, propofol, keramine, methohexitone, miscellaneous; maintenance of anaesthesia - the inhalation (volatile) agents and intravenous infusions, nitrous oxide, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, ether, propofol; muscle relaxation during anaesthesia - neuromuscular blocking drugs and their antagonism, de-polarizing muscle relaxants, non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, anti-cholinesterases; analgesia in anaesthesia - the acute pain pathway, opioid analgesics, the regulations of opioid drugs, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as analgesics; measurement and monitoring - the background to monitoring, monitoring the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, miscellaneous, the anaesthetic record; intravenous cannulation and fluid administration - peripheral intravenous cannulation, central venous cannulation, intravenous fluids, intra-operative fluid administration; positioning the patient for surgery - the supine position, the lateral position, the prone position; post-anaesthesia care - the recovery area, common complications, oxygen therapy, post-operative analgesia, Post-operative intravenous fluid therapy; anaesthetic room emergencies - acute severe drug reactions, bronchospasm, aspiration of gastric contents, failed intubation, acute upper airway obstruction, tension pneumothorax, severe hypotension, malignant hyperpyrexia, putting it all together. Part 2 Local and regional anaesthesia: local anaesthetic drugs and their doses - mechanism of action of local anaesthetic drugs, pharmacology of individual drugs, the use of vasoconstrictors, calculation of doses, the causes and management of overdose; local and regional anaesthetic techniques.
