How to Survive in Anaesthesia is a trusted, no-nonsense survival guide designed for junior anaesthetists, medical students, and operating department practitioners (ODPs). Written in a friendly, accessible tone, this pocket-sized handbook takes you straight to the core of safe and effective anaesthesia practice.
Structured around real-life clinical scenarios, the book walks readers through critical tasks such as intubation, anaesthetic planning, crisis management, and fluid/drug handling.
