Principles of Anesthesia Equipment provides guidance on the safe use of a wide range of anesthesia apparatus, edited by recognised experts based in Boston, USA and the University of the West Indies, Barbados. Divided into thirteen chapters, the book begins with the applied physics of anesthesia equipment, before covering individual instruments and groups of instruments by chapter. Equipment covered includes anesthesia machines and work stations, anesthesia breathing systems, equipment for endotracheal intubation, electrocautery and lasers, equipment for regional anesthesia, and ultrasound equipment for neuraxial blocks. The final chapter covers the use of simulators in anesthesia training. Safety tips are included in chapters on pre-use checks of anesthetic equipment, electrical safety, disinfection and sterilisation. A separate chapter on monitoring features capnography and state-of-the-art cardiac output monitors. Enhanced by 85 full colour illustrations, Principles of Anesthesia Equipment is an essential resource for anesthetists and anesthesia trainees.
