Training in anaesthetics, for practitioners, such as Nurses, Paramedics, Anaesthetic Technicians, and Perioperative Practitioners, is mostly of a practical nature. The theoretical aspects of anaesthesia are not, in the main, part of anaesthetic practitioner training, even though an understanding of such theoretical issues is expected, both by registration bodies, and by patients.
This book helps to fill the gap between practice and theory, by presenting a glossary of terminology and concise definitions of many anaesthetic and related subjects, along with key scientific concepts which describe, among other things, what effects an anaesthetic regime has on a patient's physiology. Additionally, the appendices include detailed descriptions of some of those practical matters which form part of the core skill set of the anaesthetic practitioner.
Also included is a treatise on drug calculations - with worked solutions.
After mastering the contents of Glossary of Anaesthetics, the reader will be much better equipped to understand and communicate many of the principles of anaesthesia and, as a consequence, will become a safer and more confident professional.
