Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 23 is the latest volume in this very successful and long-established series (previously entitled Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Analgesia) to present a series of cutting-edge topics for anaesthetists from some of the world's leading authorities in their subjects.

- Builds on the successful formula of 22 previous volumes
- Presents cutting-edge articles on hot topics by experts of international renown
- All articles aim to be of interest to both practising and trainee anaesthetists
