Wylie and Churchill-Davidson's A Practice of Anesthesia

Abstract

7th ed.. Revised edition of: Wylie and Churchill-Davidson's A practice of anaesthesia. 6th ed. 1995. Directed to both the consultant or attending physician and to the registrar or resident in training, this book should be of major assistance in providing a broad view of anaesthesia as a discipline. From the history of anaesthesia to the impact of disease and patient status in actual practice and new chapters on stress and bereavement care, this new edition addresses all of the fundamental changes in medicine, anaesthesia, and society.
