Graphic Anaesthesia is a compendium of the diagrams, graphs, equations and tables needed in anaesthetic practice.
Each page covers a separate topic to aid rapid review and assimilation. The relevant illustration, equation or table is presented alongside a short description of the fundamental principles of the topic and with clinical applications where appropriate. All illustrations have been drawn using a simple colour palette to allow them to be easily reproduced in an exam setting.
The book includes sections covering:
- physiology
- pharmacodynamics and kinetics
- physics
- equipment
- anatomy
- drugs
- clinical measurement
- statistics.
By combining all the illustrations, equations and tables with concise, clinically relevant explanations,
Graphic Anaesthesia is therefore:
- the ideal revision book for all anaesthetists in training
- a valuable aide-memoire for senior anaesthetists to use when teaching and examining trainees.
From reviews:
"
Graphic Anaesthesia is a well-written, easy-to-read book, ideal for trainees studying for primary FRCA examinations... It will be an ideal companion for preparing for exams."
Ulster Medical Journal, May 2016
"
Graphic Anaesthesia is an excellent revision tool that allows trainees approaching exams to prepare in an efficient and simple format. It is a refreshing and unique resource that should be included on any essential revision reading list."
European Journal of Anaesthesiology 2016;
33: 610.
"The diagrams are very clear, the explanations accurate and concise and to pack 245 items into a small reference book is no mean feat.... Each diagram is drawn in just four colours to enable them to be reproduced easily from memory. This intuitive approach was an eye-opener to me and a valuable lesson in simplicity without losing any essential detail. This is something from which many educators could learn and indeed transfer that skill...This is a quality book that could be a useful investment across the spectrum of practitioners involved in anaesthesia and the teaching of anaesthesia."
Journal of Perioperative Practice March 2017, volume 27, issue 3
