Physiology for Anaesthesiologists

Reviewing all aspects of human physiology, Physiology for Anaesthesiologists emphasizes how those principles relate to the practice of anaesthesiology. It explains the various systems of the human body, from the central nervous system to the liver and kidneys, and how they interact with each other. The section on pain, for example, explains how the body warns of dysfunction in one or more systems. This volume provides a good general understanding of human physiology, giving readers the tools needed to apply physiological principles and knowledge to the clinical practice of anaesthesia. Targeted to anaesthesiologists and those in training, medical students in any field could benefit from the knowledge presented in this book.
