Summary:

Anaesthetists and doctors working in intensive care medicine need to be able to interpret clinical data in all its forms, for example chest X-rays, electrocardiograms, angiograms or biochemical test results.

Interpretation of clinical data is of increasing importance in exams taken by trainee anaesthetists, in particular in the OSCE and Viva sections of the FRCA.

The questions in this book, with their explanatory answers, will give trainee anaesthetists and intensive care doctors the vital practice which they need in data interpretation.
