 | Anaesthesia Science Anaesthesia Science presents the scientific foundations upon which the clinical practice of anaesthesia and care of the critically ill are based.
Written on the basis that basic science underlies the practice of anaesthesia
Contributors include some of the world's most eminent anaesthesiologists
Provides coverage on less well appreciated aspects of the subject, such as the microcirculation, multi-organ failure, and the theory of pain
Thoroughly integrates the clinical practice of anaesthesia with basic sciences, providing all the information needed in one convenient source
Based on the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA) syllabus and aimed at trainee anaesthetists preparing for the FRCA, the European Diploma of Anaesthesiology and other equivalent examinations.
