Overview

This book provides practical guidance for anaesthetists working on increasingly complex day case operations. Written in a concise manner, yet well referenced with good use of graphics, check boxes and flow charts to enhance the message, the book provides clear and practical advice. The cost-effectiveness of alternative approaches are considered and, for each type of surgery, a summary of the particular problems is presented together with suggested solutions.
