Middleton Ben, Phillips Justin, Stacey Simon. Physics in Anaesthesia

2nd Edition. — Scion Publishing, 2021. — 386 p. — ISBN 9781911510802.Much of anaesthetic practice is underpinned by physics, yet many struggle when studying the subject. This book has been written with the aim of helping those who have long since parted company with physics.This new edition has been comprehensively updated, but the content remains aligned with the FRCA syllabus, making Physics in Anaesthesia ideal for trainee anaesthetists, as well as for operating department practitioners and anaesthetic nurses. In addition, clinical science and engineering students will appreciate the linking of theory and practice.Atoms and matter
