Anaesthesia for Thoracic Procedures

This multi-authored reference provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of modern anaesthetic practice supported by basic and clinical research. The introductory chapters of the book examine anatomy, physiology and pharmacology, proceed to assessment of the patient and the remaining chapters deal with individual surgical techniques and their associated problems. Anaesthesiologists who either routinely, or occasionally, assist thoracic surgeons will find this an invaluable guide to the management of thoracic patients.
