This is the successor to the successful 'Brigden's Operating Theatre Techniques' - the definitive reference book for health care professionals (though primarily for nurses) working in the operating theatre.'Operating Theatre Practice' is designed to be a one-stop, comprehensive reference that is clear, but detailed, and provides an indispensable guide to current principles of practice within the operating theatre. The current trend in nursing to focus less on rigid technique and more on principles of practice is reflected not only in the new title, but also throughout the text which is brought to life with a wealth of illustrations.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: The old version of the book is more educational., 13 Feb 2001 By A Customer I saw the old version of this book in the library at the hospital i work at. I then proceeded to read this new version. The section i needed was an in depth guide into Health and Safety. So i bought the book thinking that the rest of the book would be as detailed and informative. However, when trying to use Brigdens new edition for research within the Operating Department Practitioner framework i find it is vastly lacking in many areas that are essential to my work such as anaesthetics. The equipment illustrated is out of date and no guidance is given in the book to surgical instruments which the students new to the field need. Trust me..dont waste your time with this book. Try the old one first then try anything else but this.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It was my bible and even if I couldn`t find any relevant information in it to include as references, it filled out the old bibliography!!!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
