It covers basic aspects of airway and fluid management and equipment, followed by common emergencies. Finally it tackles all the common surgical specialties step by step. It is always practical, ever contemporary, frequently amusing. It provides safe and practical advice to not only help novices survive those first few months - but to enjoy them too.</p> <p><i>How to Survive in Anaesthesia</i> was written to answer the questions that newly qualified anaesthetists need answers to but may be too embarrassed to ask.
