Anaesthesia and Intensive Care for the Neurosurgical Patient

Neuroanaesthesia is a complex and difficult branch of anaesthesia requiring detailed knowledge of the structure, function and organization of the central nervous system, as well as the acquisition of particular skills. This book will provide the trainee with just such knowledge and skills. This second edition has been completely revised to take into account advances in the field, and as such it is a definitive statement of the current state-of-the-art, with contributions from opinion leaders in the subject. The editors have ensured that the original philosophy of the book is adhered to, namely to lay a solid foundation of basic science upon which the more practical aspects of neuroanaesthesia are built.
