This text was designed primarily for anaesthetists preparing for the final part of the FCAnaes examination. It provides for the first time, within a single work, virtually all the anaesthetic information required by a candidate with a sound knowledge of medicine and surgery. The text is also valuable for tutors and supervisors of trainee anaesthetists and established consultants requiring a comprehensive source of reference. In the second edition, the editors have built upon the success of the first by commissioning from the contributors a thorough updating to reflect the changes that have taken place in the last few years. In particular, care has been taken to cover recent developments in intensive care practice and the management of acute and chronic pain. There is enhanced coverage of physiology and pharmacology as applied to anaesthesia, with new chapters on the haematological system and hepatic physiology. There are also new chapters on the clinical use of muscle relaxants and the monitoring of neuromuscular transmission, nausea, vomiting and anti–emetics, statistics and clinical trials and on pain relief in children.

"Candidates for examinations at all levels will find excellent reviews backed by a good selection of references..." (British Journal of Anaesthesia on the First Edition) "The two volume set is a mine of information, which, given the good index, could become a comprehensive reference text...There are excellent tables and diagrams." (British Medical Journal on First Edition) "The editors have assembled the foremost authorities in anaesthesia and intensive care and have succeeded in putting their views together in a readable, comprehensive and altogether outstanding textbook. Both British and overseas anaesthetists of all grades and experiences should buy it." (Anaesthesia on the First Edition) "At today′s prices this book is good value and the publishers deserve special praise for its outstanding presentation. There is a good chance that this book will become the voice of British anaesthesia." (Lancet on the First Edition) "Super book. Buy it." (Today′s Anaesthetist on the First Edition)
From the Back Cover
This text was designed primarily for anaesthetists preparing for the final part of the FCAnaes examination. The aim of the editors was to provide for the first time, within a single work, virtually all the anaesthetic information required by a candidate with a sound knowledge of medicine and surgery. In attempting to achieve this objective, it follows that the text will also be valuable for tutors and supervisors of trainee anaesthetists and established consultants requiring a comprehensive and readily available source of reference. In the second edition, the editors have built upon the success of the first by commissioning from the contributors a thorough revision and updating to reflect the changes which have taken place in the last few years. In particular, care has been taken to cover recent developments in the management of acute and chronic pain and in intensive care practice. There is enhanced coverage of physiology and pharmacology as applied to anaesthesia, with new chapters on the haematological system and hepatic physiology. There are also new chapters on the clinical use of muscle relaxants and the monitoring of neuromuscular transmission, nausea, vomiting and anti–emetics, statistics and clinical trials and on pain relief in children.

Although the detailed description on the website indicated that the book was Volume 1, what they had in stock was volume 2 which was intimated to me promptly by email and I accepted the offer. That kind of service needs to be appreciated.
