About the Book

The aim of this book is to provide a concise and understandable review of the physics, mathematics, statistics, physiology and pharmacology of anaesthesia. A revised edition of a book originally titled Anaesthetic Data Interpretation, the new title better reflects the contents of the book. There are several additional chapters relevant to the Primary FRCA examination. New topics covered include the ventilatory response to oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is now a core knowledge requirement, new concepts in cardiovascular physiology, receptor types and the molecular actions of anaesthetics. Some of the revisions reflect advances in technology; for example, the uses of the capnograph and the oxygen analyser have advanced considerably in recent years. Basic Science for Anaesthetists is a concise and informative text which will be invaluable for trainee anaesthetists, and an aid to teaching for the trainers.

About the Author :
Sylva Dolenska qualified from Charles University, Prague and trained as an anasesthetist in the UK and is currently Consultant Anaesthetist at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent. She has also acquired the KSS Deanery Certificate in Teaching. Her other key professional interests are airway management and obstetric anaesthesia.

Review :
'This monograph is a very useful review of diverse basic science concepts relevant to anesthetic practice. The overall organization of the book is sound. the diagrams provide adequate insight for understanding the concepts dealt with in the text.' Anesthesia & Analgesia
