Preface

Objective Anaesthesia Review: A Comprehensive Textbook for the Examinees is a culmination of an idea born 9 years ago. We felt that there was no systematic, condensed yet comprehensive teaching program for the anaesthesia postgraduate about to face the examination. Individual departments conduct their own teaching activity, but these are of varying standards, often sporadic, and spaced out through the three years of curriculum. The art and science of anaesthesia is so dependent on technology that a large part of the practical examination focuses on evaluating the examinee’s knowledge of equipment. We anaesthesiologists heed the past, as many of today’s standards in safety are achieved slowly over ages from equipment of earlier generations. Again, this plethora of equipment, particularly the old ones, may not be available in all institutes. The examinee, therefore, needed a thorough brushing up; in a short span of time; of the clinical cases and equipment and technology.
To fill this lacuna, the first Anaesthesia Review Course was held in 2004 by Department of Anaesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. This course consisted of interactive case discussions with experienced teachers and hands-on workshops. The course was appreciated for pattern and content by the postgraduates and the faculty alike and it was deemed to be a resounding success. With the first course came the first workbook, this contained the cases written up by the faculty. The Anaesthesia Review Course has been held annually since then and every year there has been a workbook. However, there were several problems. Since we could only discuss only a few cases every year, each year’s workbook contained only some cases. So the students had to obtain and go through multiple workbooks. The previous books were scarce, being printed in limited numbers. The equipment and other photographs were not great, being black and white and reproduced using offset print and photocopying. Many such and more complaints came from the anaesthesia postgraduates attending the course.
The idea thus germinated for this book. Why not write a book which shall contain all the cases and the entire range of anaesthesia equipment, and table viva topics such as ABGs, ECGs, PFTs, etc. normally encountered in the examination? This book, therefore, contains all these and more. There are color plates for the old as well as new equipment, which may not be available to all postgraduates.
