Part of the groundbreaking Landmark Papers in... series, Landmark Papers in Anaesthesia details 10 key papers in each of the major areas of anaesthesia. Each paper is discussed in detail, summarized, and its strengths and weaknesses highlighted.
Anaesthesia Science presents the scientific foundations uponwhich the clinical practice of anaesthesia and care of thecritically ill are based. Written on the basis that basic science underlies the practiceof anaesthesia Contributors include some of the world’s most eminentanaesthesiologists Provides coverage on less well appreciated aspects of thesubject, such as the microcirculation, multi-organ failure, and thetheory of pain Thoroughly integrates the clinical practice of anaesthesia withbasic sciences, providing all the information needed in oneconvenient source Based on the Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists(FRCA) syllabus and aimed at trainee anaesthetists preparing forthe FRCA, the European Diploma of Anaesthesiology and otherequivalent examinations.
Upland Habitats presents a comprehensive illustrated guide to the habits wildlife and conservation of Britains last wilderness areas.

Issues of thrombosis, bleeding, and transfusion are extremely common, and often complex, in critically ill patients. Haematology in Critical Care: A Practical Handbookprovidesa dependable source of expert guidance on how to handle common haematological problems seen in the critical care setting, as well as the acute care of patients with a primary haematological disorder. Full-time clinical haematologists, regularly attending on intensive care, the Editors begin with an approach to abnormal laboratory tests, following with a disease-orientated approach to topics such as coagulation and haematological malignancy. Other key topics include paediatric and neonatal care, transfusion, point of care testing and the emergency presentation of haematological disease. This title brings together two of the most highly scientific specialties in clinical practice, delivering a practical approach to these problems, and guiding the clinician through the diagnosis and management of common scenarios encountered in the ICU.
Evidence-based medicine is a concept that has come to the fore in the past few years. Clinicians are increasingly encouraged to practise patient management based on available evidence in the scientific literature. For example, new pharmacological therapies are only used when large randomized trials have 'proven' that a particular drug is better than existing ones. This is also the case in surgical specialties, although surgery has traditionally seen a lack of use of this information, with individual surgeon's preferences being most influential in treatment choices. However, more recently, there has been a large expansion of trials and studies aimed at providing surgeons with information to guide their choices using firm evidence. This book provides a detailed summary of the most important trials and studies in neurosurgery, allowing the reader to rapidly extract key results. Each chapter is written by a prominent international neurosurgeon in that particular field, making this book essential reading for all neurosurgeons and trainees in the field.
