The first edition won first prize in Anaesthesia in the 2019 BMA Medical Book Awards!
Here's what the reviewers said:
""It is so easy to pick up and check things, and the illustrations and drawing instructions have allowed me to do my own drawings and learn how to label them.""
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and continues to provide you with simple instructions on how to draw and interpret the crucial anatomy you need for your anaesthetic training.
Covers all the relevant anatomy in:
Head, neck and neuro – from Circle of Willis to cervical plexus Vertebral column – from the spinal cord to the sacrum Cardiac – coronary arteries and venous drainage of the heart Airway and respiratory – from airway sensation to the diaphragm Abdomen – from the abdominal aorta to the nephron, via a TAP block Limbs – from blood vessels in the arms to the ankle, via the femoral canal
For the majority of sections, in addition to a simple drawing and detailed explanation, there are also step-by-step illustrations to show you how to draw the anatomy yourself – taking some of the stress out of potential viva questions!
