Basic Physics And Measurement In Anesthesia

From the Publisher '... an eminently readable source of information on the physics of anaesthesia and its associated measurements.' (From a review of the second edition in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.) For almost fifteen years, successive editions of this book have provided a clear and comprehensive understanding of physics and its clinical application for safe and reliable anaesthetic practice and this new edition continues in that tradition. Emphasizing throughout the importance of mastering basic physics and measurement, this book aims to provide an understanding of physics and its clinical applications for safe and reliable anaesthetic practice.

John Peder Erickson The fourth edition of this book follows its predecessor by five years. It provides broad coverage of physics for the clinical anesthetist, including MRI and depth of anesthesia. The authors have succeeded in producing a volume at a level between undergraduate and graduate physics that will help the clinician deliver anesthesia care safely. The authors have backgrounds spanning both physics and anesthesiology. The book is compact and the writing clear and concise. All illustrations are black-and-white. No references are included. SI units are used, which at times is awkward for read
