This book has been written to help candidates sitting their professional examination in anaesthesia in order that they may have at their disposal the detailed anatomical knowledge necessary for the day to day practice of anaesthesia. Unlike a textbook of anatomy, which must cover all parts of the body with equally exhaustive thoroughness, this book concentrates particularly on areas of special relevance to anaesthesia and points out features of practical importance to anaesthetic technique. The text is divided into nine sections; the respiratory pathway, the heart, the vertebral canal, the peripheral nerves; The Autonomic Nervous System; The Cranial Nerves; The Orbit and its contents; The Anatomy of Pain and Zones of Anaesthetic Interest. The eighth edition has fully expanded and updated text; and includes new and improved illustrations.

Concise anatomical text and descriptions of procedures are supported by high-quality, anatomical illustrations linked to clinical images.

Practical illustrated handbook of ultrasound anatomy, showing basic anatomy, where to place the probe, and how to interpret the scan.

This 2002 text presents the core anatomical knowledge required for the Primary and Final FRCA examinations in a simple and straightforward manner. The many illustrations in the book are clear and designed to be easy to understand at a glance. Sample examination questions are included.

This practical, comprehensive anatomy book arms FRCA candidates with detailed, robust anatomical knowledge via a question-based approach.

Easily understood, up-to-date and clinically relevant, this book provides junior anaesthetists with an essential physiology resource.

First prize in Anaesthesia in the 2019 BMA Medical Book Awards! Here's what the reviewers said: "It is so easy to pick up and check things, and the illustrations and drawing instructions have allowed me to do my own drawings and learn how to label them." This book provides you with simple instructions on how to draw and interpret the crucial anatomy you need for your anaesthetic training. Covers all the relevant anatomy in: Head, neck and neuro – from Circle of Willis to cervical plexus Vertebral column – from the spinal cord to the sacrum Cardiac – coronary arteries and venous drainage of the heart Airway and respiratory – from airway sensation to the diaphragm Abdomen – from the abdominal aorta to the nephron, via a TAP block Limbs – from blood vessels in the arms to the ankle, via the femoral canal For the majority of sections, in addition to a simple drawing and detailed explanation, there are also step-by-step illustrations to show you how to draw the anatomy yourself – this active learning will deepen your understanding of the subject and improve your recall for potential viva questions! **Now updated to include laryngoscopic vocal cords**

The definitive guide to this part of the FRCA exam.

This book covers the anatomical knowledge that trainee anaesthetists who are revising for the Primary and Final FRCA exams will need. The topics covered are derived from the FRCA curriculum and include the most up to date version of past exam questions, in order to ensure targeted and successful exam revision. The content, illustrations and overall layout of this book ensure that common gaps in anatomical knowledge encountered by FRCA trainees are included. The book is divided into sections pertaining to anatomical regions; head and neck, thorax, abdomen, spine, upper and lower limbs. The topics of importance to anaesthetists are presented under 'structures', 'circulation' and 'nervous system' (with relevance to regional anaesthesia). Each topic is extensively researched and presented in a simple format for maximum retention. This book makes learning and remembering applied anatomy as straightforward as possible. It also supplements the knowledge required by trainee anaesthetists appearing for the FRCA exams. Clinical educators will also find it useful in teaching. It serves as a practical reference for anatomical knowledge at any point in an anaesthetist's career.
