Summary

This important new title aims to provide practising theatre staff and trainees alike with a comprehensive understanding of anaesthesia, surgery and recovery that will enable them to carry out their professional roles in operating department practice to the highest possible standards. Each subject is covered by a multidisciplinary group of authors (surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and operating department practitioners) and care has been taken throughout to ensure a standardised level of coverage to include common surgical conditions, types of operation available and in what cases these should be performed, descriptions of the surgical procedures and instrumentation, key anaesthetic information and aspects of patient recovery that require specific attention. Throughout the book, important medical principles have been explained in such a way as to be of immediate relevance to trainee and qualified theatre staff alike and, where available, national standards for cardiothoracic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, burns and plastic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, neurosurgery etc. have been carefully referred to.
