| Summary: | Anaesthesiologists, uniquely, administer drugs intravenously and by inhalation which profoundly interfere with fundamental physiological functions such as breathing, cardiac output, blood pressure, the protective reflexes, and the perception of pain. The drugs used are often highly potent and potentially toxic. It is therefore entirely appropriate that anaesthesiologists are required to have a good working knowledge and understanding of pharmacological and physiological principles, and their application to anaesthesia and intensive care. Together with a companion text on Pharmacology, Physiology for Anaesthesiologists provides up-to-date information to trainees in anaesthesiology and related specialities preparing for professional examinations: both editors have a wealth of experience as examiners in these subjects. In addition to covering the core material for these examinations, some topics not usually dealt with in textbooks for anaesthesiologists are also covered, since they can have at least an indirect relevance to the practising anaesthesiologists. This book will also be of benefit to established anaesthesiologists, and those in other related specialities, who want to keep up to date with recent developments in physiology |
