Provides information on patient selection, management of pain and sickness, the recovery process and problems which may occur after surgery. All forms of anaesthesia are covered, including local anaesthesia and nerve blocks, general anaesthesia (with inhaled and injected drugs) and the use of sedatives to supplement local anaesthesia.
