This extensively acclaimed textbook holds international acclaim as a fundamental resource for aspiring trainee anaesthetists, serving as an indispensable guide for candidates seeking admission into the Fellowship of Royal College of Anaesthetists and similar examinations. The preceding sixth edition received the prestigious First Prize at the BMA Medical Book Awards.

The book offers comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations underlying anaesthesia, critical care, and pain management practices, along with detailed insights into clinical anaesthesia and perioperative care. By seamlessly integrating these diverse aspects, this textbook has proven invaluable to a generation of anaesthetists throughout their initial training years and in their preparations for the FRCA and similar professional examinations.

The primary objective of this Seventh Edition has remained unwavering: to equip the reader with the essential knowledge and practical considerations necessary to administer anaesthesia and perioperative care for a wide array of surgical procedures, catering to patients with various common medical comorbidities. In keeping with the evolving role of anaesthesia beyond the operating theatre, this edition also includes essential material related to safety and quality assurance, consent, resuscitation, intensive care medicine, pre-hospital care, and chronic pain management.

This book encompasses the entirety of clinical practice, spanning from the selection and utilization of anaesthetic equipment and pre-operative assessment to post-operative care, local anaesthesia, anaesthesia for specific specialties, and the management of chronic pain. The text comprehensively addresses the principles of pharmacology, anaesthetic agents, and physics, which are of paramount importance to anaesthetists.

The Seventh Edition has been meticulously restructured into four distinct sections: Basic Sciences, Physics and Apparatus, Fundamentals of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, and Clinical Anaesthesia. Additionally, this edition introduces four new chapters, further enhancing its comprehensive coverage and relevance.

In summary, this textbook stands as a cornerstone of anaesthesia education, providing a comprehensive and authoritative guide for trainees and professionals alike. Its enduring popularity and recognition reflect its exceptional quality and effectiveness in equipping readers with the knowledge and skills required for excellence in anaesthesia and perioperative care.
