The first edition of this book has been awarded first prize in Anaesthesia in the 2019 BMA Medical Book Awards! Here's what the reviewers had to say:

"This book is a must-have for any anaesthetic trainee or practitioner. It is so easy to pick up and check things, and the illustrations and drawing instructions have allowed me to do my own drawings and learn how to label them. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and it continues to provide you with simple instructions on how to draw and interpret the crucial anatomy you need for your anaesthetic training.

The book covers all the relevant anatomy in a clear and concise manner. It starts with the head, neck, and neuro, covering everything from the Circle of Willis to the cervical plexus. It then moves on to the vertebral column, from the spinal cord to the sacrum. The cardiac section covers coronary arteries and venous drainage of the heart, while the airway and respiratory section covers everything from airway sensation to the diaphragm. The abdominal section covers the abdominal aorta to the nephron, via a TAP block. The limbs section covers blood vessels in the arms to the ankle, via the femoral canal.

For the majority of sections, in addition to a simple drawing and detailed explanation, there are also step-by-step illustrations to show you how to draw the anatomy yourself. This takes some of the stress out of potential viva questions and allows you to practice and improve your drawing skills.

Overall, this is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in anaesthesia. It is easy to read, informative, and visually appealing, and it will help you to improve your understanding of anatomy and your ability to perform anaesthesia safely and effectively."
