faced with emergency problems. The introductory chapters cover the principles of
emergency anesthesia and of resuscitation with guidance on IV therapy, blood
transfusions and the practical procedures needed, together with the basic

and their associated emergency problems. Each contributor indicates what the
special problems are and how they may be avoided or overcome in the relevant
circumstances.
