Overview
Much of anaesthetic practice is underpinned by physics, yet many struggle when studying the subject. This book has been written with the aim of helping those who have long since parted company with physics. This new edition has been comprehensively updated, but the content remains aligned with the FRCA syllabus, making Physics in Anaesthesia ideal for trainee anaesthetists, as well as for operating department practitioners and anaesthetic nurses. In addition, clinical science and engineering students will appreciate the linking of theory and practice. Physics in Anaesthesia gives a complete and structured overview: Explanations start from first principles Simple everyday examples are used to illustrate core concepts Clinical examples highlight the applications of physics in anaesthesia Worked examples and helpful diagrams develop understanding Completely revised MCQs/SBAs now available online with hints and tips, plus answers

Reviews
Five-star reviews of the first edition: Essential physics reading for FRCA Primary This is an excellent book on physics for the FRCA Primary which I'm currently studying for. It's clear, concise and presented in an easy to read and logical format. It assumes no prior physics knowledge (last time I studied physics was at GCSE) and guides you from basic principles through to clinical application. The diagrams are extremely useful and easy to understand, and I managed to get through it all in about 3 weeks during my on-calls and with a zero-hours week. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough. My only criticism is that there isn't a colour version! Excellent This is a superb book and helped me greatly during my Primary FRCA. Easy to read and explains basic concepts really well. There's another book, Equipment for Anaesthetics And Critical Care, which compliments this nicely. Throughly recommend getting both. Great starting point for primary FRCA studies I'm an anaesthetic trainee and I am finding this book very helpful. Explains everything in a very easy way to understand without being too wordy. Important equations are highlighted and there are Clinical applications boxes throughout to put the information into context. Very pleased with this book. Nice size for my handbag too so I can read it on long journeys etc -- Amazon reviewers
