Basic Physiology for Anaesthetists

Description

Every trainee in anaesthesia requires a thorough understanding of basic physiology and its application to clinical practice. Now in its second edition, this comprehensively illustrated textbook bridges the gap between medical school and reference scientific texts. It covers the physiology requirements of the Primary FRCA examination syllabus. Chapters are organised by organ system, with particular emphasis given to the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The practical question-and-answer format helps the reader prepare for oral examinations, while 'clinical relevance' boxes translate the physiological concepts to clinical practice. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout, and includes six new chapters, including the physiology of the eye, upper airway and exercise testing. It provides junior anaesthetists with an essential 'one stop' physiology resource. Review: Good thus far - Fast delivery. Just started using this textbook. Good thus far. Physics explained simple. Review: Excellent simple physiology book - Great book on human physiology. Obsiously it doesn't cover everything, but as the title says, its basic physiology. The book is about humans, but I'm a veterinarian and it also covers most physiology for us. Great for learning, but also for quickly refreshing some knowledge.
