Smith and Aitkenhead's Textbook of Anaesthesia
Smith and Aitkenhead's Textbook of Anaesthesia has become the book of choice for the trainee anaesthetist and is essential reading for candidates for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and similar examinations. It is also a highly trusted, practical guide for all anaesthetists and other health care professionals involved in the perioperative period.
Building on previous worldwide success, this sixth edition has been thoroughly updated and reorganised to reflect current anaesthetic practice and the basic sciences that directly underpin it. The inclusion of several new chapters continues to ensure complete coverage of key and evolving areas and new, experienced authors also add a fresh perspective to this edition. For the first time, Smith & Aitkenhead's Textbook of Anaesthesia comes with complementary access to the complete contents online at expertconsult.com, making it more flexible and easy to use than ever before.
Clear and concise coverage of the full range of modern clinical practice - from anaesthetic equipment and pre-operative assessment through to post-operative care, local anaesthesia, anaesthesia for individual specialties, intensive care and the management of chronic pain.
New chapters on resuscitation; management of the difficult airway; management of the high-risk patient; anaesthetic considerations in transplant patients; consent and information; safety and quality improvement and education and training (appendix)
Clinically relevant basic sciences integrated throughout - including the principles of pharmacology, anaesthetic agents and physics for the anaesthetist

Anaesthesia, Pharmacology, Intensive Care and Emergency A.P.I.C.E.: Proceedings of the 25th Annual Meeting - International Symposium on Critical Care Medicine
Innovation, training and research are the pillars that support a process deriving from basic science and multi-professional/multidisciplinary interventions. The APICE 2012 yearbook deals with several innovations for optimising prevention and management measures for the critically ill, by integrating diagnostic procedures with pharmacological and technological options. Peri- and postoperative managements as well as treatment of surgical infections and of pain, new and old artificial ventilation strategies are some of the most relevant topics the volume deal with in this new edition. The volume focuses also on the improvement standards and quality of care; on the expanding concept of clinical governance and professionalism and on the importance of ethical principles for establishing a process of patient-centered and evidence-based care.

Thoracic Anaesthesia (Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Anaesthesia)
Thoracic anaesthesia is regarded as a post fellowship sub-speciality within anaesthesia, and can be daunting. This handbook provides an easily accessible, informative, and palatable guide to this often complex subject. The text is sub-divided into basic sciences, pre-operative assessment, diagnostic procedures, and an anaesthetist's walk-through of key thoracic surgical procedures. It concludes with an emergency section covering thoracic anaesthesia emergencies, critical care, and
the thoracic surgical patient, and ends with essential guidance on the relevant practical procedures necessary to manage cases.
The text provides an essential reference for the core curriculum of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and for the day-to-day practice of post fellowship anaesthetists alike. The discussions of the surgical procedures are simple, highlighting the poignant stages that can affect the anaesthetic management of the patient.
The authors use the very latest evidence in order to keep the reader up to speed with developments in the field. Whether on-call, running day-to-day lists or working within critical care, this indispensable guidebook will optimise the preparedness of all staff in dealing with any case, whether simple or complex.

Anesthesia-Related Complications - Anesthesiology Clinics of North America ,2002, Volume 20, Issue 3

The topic of Anesthesia-Related Complications is a very broad one, and exhaustive review could fill many issues. Therefore, another goal that I set for myself was to secure recognized experts to write articles in their areas, and to make these articles concise, current, and focused. Based on the quality of authors in this issue, and the excellence of their articles, I am confident that this goal has been achieved.
An issue like this can be most valuable when it offers new perspectives on a subject area that has already been reviewed on numerous occasions in the past. One article that fulfills this objective is Dr. Karen Domino's work about the American Society of Anesthesiologists Closed Claims Committee. It is important to know where much of the information we use comes from, and where it may come from in the future. Despite the great importance of prospective, double blind studies, not all useful information comes in this form. Issues of patient safety and patient consent, as well as the shortage of resources for research, preclude definitive studies of many of the procedures and techniques that we employ every day. As another example, Dr. Bruce Ben-David has superimposed an original framework on the issues involving safety of regional and neuraxial blocks, and I think this will prove to be of benefit to thoughtful clinicians. All the authors provide new information, as well as clear structure to previous knowledge.
