Anaesthesia is a technical and complex specialty. As time progresses, every
practitioner discovers effective, common sense ways to deal with challenging
situations. Many of these tips (how to do it) and caveats (how not to do it )
are simply passed on by word of mouth to colleagues, juniors and others. Most of
them are not big enough to warrant publication in journals and so remain part of
oral medical history, some surviving only within a single unit or institution.
This small book aims to enable these tips to be shared among a much wider
audience.
