Synopsis

For the health-care professional, the operating theatre is a highly specialised environment, and this reference provides the foundational knowledge necessary to make one's first experience in the theatre a meaningful one by assisting the student to become a safe practitioner and a valuable part of a multidisciplinary team. Explaining the importance of sound infection-control practices and offering an introduction to anaesthesia, this account also discusses the specific ethical and legal issues relevant to theatre practice and ways to reduce the possibility of contamination and cross-contamination.
