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.
