  Perioperative Management for House Surgeons is written specifically for junior doctors starting their surgical house job. It contains all you need to know about the perioperative preparation of patients, with emphasis on pre-existing medical conditions. Post-operative care is covered thoroughly, and problems such as fluid balance, analgesia and cardiorespiratory complications are covered in a practical, problem-oriented way which enables the reader to adapt the information to the situation at hand. This is not a book to be read only in an emergency, but should be at hand throughout your time on the surgical ward. It will provide answers to those questions with which at 3 a.m., no-one seems able to help. The liberal injections of black humour are a great encouragement to read the book from cover to cover and not just to dip into it for a quick fact!
