Download or read book MCQ Selftest Companion to Lee's Synopsis of Anaesthesia written by G. B. Rushman and published by Butterworth-Heinemann Medical. This book was released on 1995 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This companion volume to Lee's Synopsis of Anaesthesia has been developed to enable the reader to check how much of the factual information from the Synopsis has been retained. This does not, of course, cover the whole area of anaesthesia contained in the Synopsis, which includes much about the art of the subject, and the wisdom of many years of experience, both of which are difficult to test. Nevertheless, the area of anaesthesia rests firmly on a database of scientific knowledge. Such background knowledge is most easily tested by the MCQ format, presented here. The questions have been carefully formatted in a friendly way, to help develop the reader's knowledge of the subject, and are therefore slightly different from 'exam' questions. They are designed to augment what you have gleaned from the Synopsis, rather than to test in a destructive or competitive sense. This little book is unashamedly dedicated to improving the quality of anaesthesia. It is also dedicated to helping students of anaesthesia pass exams, which has been the long-term aim of the Synopsis itself! On each question, there is the briefest reference to the page of the Synopsis to which the question refers. After each question, a brief explanation of the reason for a statement being false is frequently included. The answers on the right-hand side of the page may be covered up by a card or ruler, while the statement is assessed, and then checked against the reader's views.
