  This essential handbook provides a practical, accessible guide to all emergency situations encountered during, and immediately following, anaesthesia. It covers the major specialties including cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, obstetrics, paediatrics, thoracics, neurosurgery, and also airway problems. Each section is sub-divided into presentation, immediate management, investigations, risk factors, exclusions, and subsequent management. These subsections are then expanded upon in bullet format. Additional sections cover practical procedures such as how to insert a chest drain or how to administer intra-osseous fluids, problems encountered in the recovery period, plus a concise drug formulary listing the doses of emergency drugs and infusions is included.
