Lavishly illustrated by clear line diagrams and photographs, Ward's is a highly practical, accessible and trusted single volume covering the key principles behind equipment function and design - invaluable for both trainee & qualified anaesthetists and all those who work in this field. Now fully revised and updated, this version integrates the facts with interactive study tools for best practice learning, intuitive navigation and powerful search.
