Mastering Anaesthetics for MRCS: A Comprehensive Guide for Surgical Trainees

Are you struggling to find essential information on diathermy, ventilation, anaesthetic types, and peri-operative care? Look no further! This anaesthetics book, tailored specifically to the MRCS syllabus, covers the little bits that other books often leave out.

Book Structure and Content

The book is structured into three sections, providing a comprehensive overview of anaesthetics for surgical trainees.

• Applied Basic Sciences: This section focuses on the fundamental principles of anaesthetics, covering essential topics for MRCS and FRCS examinations.
• Peri-Operative Care and Surgical Specialties: Written by clinical specialists in surgery and anaesthesia, this section discusses specific considerations and challenges in peri-operative care, covering topics such as damage limitation surgery in trauma, transfusion practice, and enhanced recovery.
• “At a Glance” Chapters: These concise chapters provide rapid reference and revision materials, covering essential topics like post-operative cognitive dysfunction, coagulation, fluids, and scoring systems.

Each chapter is written by clinical specialists in surgery and anaesthesia, ensuring that the information is accurate, relevant, and up-to-date.

Why This Book Stands Out

This comprehensive guide is an essential text for all surgical trainees, providing a solid grounding in anaesthetic principles and practical insights into peri-operative care. The “At a Glance” chapters offer a valuable resource for rapid reference and revision, making it an indispensable companion for MRCS preparation.

With its unique focus on the surgical specialties, as laid out by the Royal Surgical Colleges, this book is your trusted guide to mastering anaesthetics for MRCS.
