Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia is a comprehensive, authoritative, and practical guide to the whole field of anaesthetic practice. It encompasses all ages, from neonates to the elderly, and all surgical specialties, including cardiac surgery, interventional radiology, and weight-reduction surgery. Local, regional, and neuraxial techniques are described, including ultrasound guidance. The entire patient journey is covered, from preoperative assessment and investigation, through informed consent, to post-operative analgesia. There are substantial sections dealing with acute pain and the management of intra-operative emergencies. A comprehensive drug formulary is provided.

The 2018 updates to this handbook reflect developments in the field up to March 2017. For information regarding what has been updated, please see Updates and Amendments.
