A good knowledge of physics measurement & equipment is essential for practising anaesthetists. However these subjects do present considerable problems because few anaesthetists have any background in physics. This book explains the physical principles & applications of physics in anaesthesia & the statistical methods that anaesthetists are required to underst&. The book

Includes:: sections on equipment & safety in anaesthesia & electrical safety. Fully updated for the second edition the book also

Includes:: new chapters on the depth of anaesthesia & on electrical safety. The contents are based on the syllabus of the FRCA exam in mathematics physics clinical measurement monitoring & equipment. The book starts with mathematics statistics & physics background not only to enhance the understanding for what follows in the book but also because these basic sciences are fundamental to many other aspects of medical science. Areas which in the authors' teaching experience candidates have found particularly troublesome such as electricity & electrical safety are discussed in some detail in order to clarify.

You think a real guy leaves everything up to chance? Dont count on it. It might seem like his every action is unplanned & unintentional but thats not the case. Everything he does-from firing up the grill to avoiding taking out the trash-is thoroughly calculated before he does it. Its not rocket science. Its guy physics. This isnt the kind of physics they tried to teach you in school. While it does deal with velocity & force & all that good stuff you can apply it in real life & really reap the rewards. Use it to beat your buddies on the court. Or you can use it to get out of your chores. It even comes in handy when youre working an angle at the bar. This guide proves a guy in motion will stay in motion-as long as that motion is toward a recliner & with a beer. ...
