Anaesthesia for Operating Department Practitioners

Anaesthesia for Operating Department Practitioners: Principles and Practice is the first textbook to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles and practice of anaesthesia for Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs), providing an accessible and evidence-based breakdown of the key clinical aspects.

Promoting the highest standards of patient care and safety, the book first provides a clear overview of the ODP role before offering a holistic perspective that incorporates deliberations about traditional practices and presents new approaches, including Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA). Highlighting current debates in the field, there are also a range of features to help students consolidate their understanding of this vital area, including test-yourself questions, critical thinking questions, and single- and multiple-choice questions.

Written by academics teaching students at undergraduate and postgraduate level, this is a thorough resource that offers not only an essential guide during study, but will also be of support during the first years of clinical practice.
