Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care: Volume 22, Volume 22A. P. Adams, J. N. Cashman, R. M. Grounds Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 22 is the latest volume in this very successful and long-established series (previously entitled Recent Advances in Anaesthesia and Analgesia) to present a series of cutting-edge topics for anaesthetists from some of the world's leading authorities in their subjects. As the title suggests, this and future volumes will have increased input from the field of intensive care, but the emphasis will remain on producing articles of high quality and interest to the reader and providing exceptional value for money. |
