There is a large influx of trauma, general surgical, pediatric, neurosurgical and obstetric emergencies as the hospital is one of the major public hospitals located in a densely populated region sitting amidst major routes in the city. It also provides services for emergency cardiovascular, cerebrovascular interventions and cadaver transplants. Daily lessons from this tremendous emergency work inspired us to bring out this book. There is plethora of reference material available in basic sciences related to anesthesiology, namely physiology, pharmacology, physics and anatomy. Similarly, a large number of textbooks are on techniques such as general, regional, monitored anesthesia care as well as super specialties like cardiac, neurosurgical and pediatric anesthesia, etc. But there is a limited availability of books and references for emergency anesthesia. One has to scan and integrate parts from various sources. This book is an attempt to assimilate the scattered information and add clinical expertise. Contents of this book have been divided into nine sections to cover majority of the emergencies. General considerations for adults, obstetric and pediatric sections have been written separately to avoid duplication. An additional challenge is cases with various medical disorders for emergency surgeries. Efforts have been taken to accommodate them in first section and obstetric section. The contributors of this book work together at LTMMC and LTMGH and have a well-balanced team with fresh talent bringing the latest technological knowledge and tenured practitioners supplementing it with applied experience. Part of the team worked on collection of the matter from different sources for an ideal scenario, while the senior faculty members used their vast clinical experience for a more practical and realistic application. These combined efforts have been truly beneficial to achieve our goal to rationally mix latest technology with clinical experience and identify potential ways to conduct anesthesia with best results, at least costs and minimum risk.

This book describes the provision of anesthesia and analgesia for patients presenting as emergencies. Patients commonly come to the emergency room with conditions requiring local or general anesthesia. Close cooperation is essential between the anesthetist and the emergency room staff if anesthesia and analgesia are to be dealt with efficiently and safely. Consideration must always be given to the broader medical management of the patient and priorities adhered to. The authors provide a concise guide to anesthesia and pain relief in emergency medicine. The emphasis is on the practical management of problems. Clear instructions on the treatment of common conditions and anesthetic support for emergency procedures are supplemented by key points, lists, boxes, and detailed illustrations.

This practical manual is designed to help medical officers in small hospitals provide safe and effective anesthesia for patients. Intended for doctors with at least one year of postgraduate clinical experience, it describes anesthetic techniques suitable for use in hospitals with limited resources. Chapter 2 describes fundamental principles and techniques underlying the practice of anesthesia and outlines immediate and continuing care of critically ill or unconscious patients. Chapter 3 focuses on continuing care of unconscious and anesthetized patients. The focus of Chapter 4 is on the principles of fluid and electrolyte therapy. Chapters 5 and 6 cover patient assessment before anesthesia and general anesthesia. Chapter 7 concerns safe clinical use of anesthetic equipment best-suited for and most likely found in district hospitals. Chapter 8 contains examples of general anesthetic techniques feasible in small or medium-sized hospitals. Chapter 9 provides information on drugs. Chapter 10 suggests techniques for conduction anesthesia. Chapters 11 and 12 discuss choosing and planning the anesthetic technique and postoperative care of the patient. Chapters 13 and 14 discuss special needs of pediatric and obstetric anaesthesia and important medical conditions. Chapter 15 covers oxygen, gas supplies, equipment, and maintenance. Numerous illustrations convey technical details; tables, charts, and checklists summarize lines of action and points to remember. Checklists and an index are appended. (YLB)

I felt highly honoured when I was asked to write about the achievements of my late brother, Dr Frank Wilson, MB, BS(Lond.), FF ARCS, DA, DCH, who was the editor of and a contributor to this book. Frank graduated in Medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College in 1949 at the early age of 22. Born in Lancaster, his one wish was to return to the North. He held house appointments at Preston, spent his two years of National Service in the Royal Air Force and attained the rank of Squadron Leader. While on National Service, his interests turned to anesthetics, and as Senior Medical Officer on H.M. Troopship 'Devonshire', he developed a love for the sea. Convinced that anesthesia was his career, Frank came to Liverpool and attended the University course in this speciality. The vast experi ence he gained in anesthesia in the Liverpool Hospitals and on the Thoracic, Cardiac, Neurosurgical and Paediatric units, ensured his continued interest in resuscitation and neonatal anesthesia, which led him to design a new tracheostomy tube when he was at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. He became Lecturer in Anesthesia at the University of Liverpool and later Consultant Anesthetist to Southmead Hospital, Bristol, and then to the Burnley group of hospitals and to Lancaster in 1966.
