More DescriptionThis highly successful book aims to provide the guiding priniciples behind taking clinical decisions when anesthetising and sedating children. The books is a concise and readable introduction to neonatal and paediatric anaesthesia and is aimed at anaesthetists in training. Beginning with a description of the anatomy and physiology of neonates and children, the book goes on to outline the pharmacology and action of anaesthetics and analgesics. Medical conditions which have a bearing on the use or effect of anaesthetics are discussed, and alternative methods of management are given where appropriate. Anaesthesia for specialist surgery, for day-case surgery, and for radiological procedures is covered. The book concludes with details of how to transport the critically ill child, and how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
