Basic Physiology for Anaesthetists 2nd Ed
Basic Physiology for Anaesthetists second edition of this comprehensive textbook is an essential resource for
trainees in anaesthesia, offering a thorough understanding of
basic physiology and its direct application to clinical practice. Designed specifically for those preparing for the
Primary FRCA examination, this textbook bridges the gap between
medical school education and more advanced reference texts, providing a detailed yet accessible overview of the physiological principles necessary for anesthesiology.The chapters are organized by
organ system, with in-depth coverage of the
respiratory,
cardiovascular, and
nervous systems, which are crucial to anesthesiology practice. The
practical question-and-answer format is particularly beneficial for preparing for
oral examinations, making it easier for trainees to consolidate their knowledge in a structured way.A standout feature of the book is its
clinical relevance boxes, which help
translate physiological concepts into real-world clinical applications. These boxes make it easier for readers to see how the theoretical concepts they learn apply to day-to-day practice in anesthesia, enhancing their ability to integrate physiology into clinical decision-making.This
second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised, ensuring that it reflects the most current understanding of physiology as it pertains to anesthesiology. In addition to the previous content, the book now includes
six new chapters covering important topics such as the
physiology of the eye, the
upper airway, and
exercise testing—filling in gaps that are particularly relevant for anaesthesia practitioners.With its
clear organization,
illustrative content, and focus on
clinical relevance, this textbook provides junior anaesthetists with an invaluable
'one-stop' physiology resource that will support their learning, examination preparation, and clinical practice. Whether you're a resident or an early-career anesthesiologist, this book is an indispensable guide to mastering the physiological foundations of anesthesia.
