Summary

This unique pack brings together expert revision and practical advice on anaesthesia for a value-for-money price.

SAQs for the Final FRCA offers a comprehensive solution to any person wishing to sit, and ultimately pass, the SAQ paper for the Final FRCA exam. It is designed specifically to fit the examination format, with each double page spread containing a sample question and detailed model answer, acting both as a revision guide and as a template for answering similar questions in the exam. It includes the most recent guidelines and evidence base, whilst also covering in detail areas not included in other revision books. Written by two recent and successful exam candidates, and a highly respected senior anaesthetist, this book holds the key to passing the final FRCA examination.

Challenging Concepts in Anaesthesia selects specific challenging cases that are encountered in everyday clinical practice but do not have simple answers. A case-based guide to challenging areas in anaesthesia and pain management, this book covers the major sub-specialty areas in both fields. Complex cases are comprehensively examined with detailed consideration given to management options and the contemporary evidence base behind these decisions.

An effective revision aid, Challenging Concepts in Anaesthesia highlights critical information through the use of boxed features: 'Learning points', 'Clinical tips', 'Evidence-base'. Each chapter has been reviewed by a national or international expert in the field and they have provided an 'Expert commentary', giving a unique insight into how today's opinion leaders confront and deal with the very same management conundrums that all clinicians can potentially face day in, day out.
