Short Textbook of Anesthesia

by Ajay Yadav

Anesthesia is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical purposes. Anesthesia enables the painless performance of medical procedures that would otherwise cause severe or intolerable pain to an unanesthetized patient, or would otherwise be technically unfeasible. This edition has been divided into 9 sections providing a basic knowledge of physiology and pharmacology related to anesthesia, anesthesia machine and equipment, various anesthetic drugs and techniques in normal subjects and patients suffering from medical ailments and subspecialty management. To make the revision easier at the last time where a student does not get enough time to read the whole subject, the most important points are presented in italics, and moreover, key points are given at the end of each chapter. Wherever possible, a summary of topics has been presented in tabulated form. This edition of the book would be of immense value in providing the basic knowledge of anesthesia to undergraduate students. This book would not only help in solving the anesthesia questions, but also questions related to intensive care therapy, applied physiology and emergency medicine.
