QR code
"Handbook of Anæsthetics" by J. Stuart Ross is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview and practical guide to the theories, physiological principles, methods, and drugs involved in the practice of administering anaesthesia. It is intended for medical students and practitioners seeking a condensed yet authoritative resource on the safe and effective administration of anaesthetics. The opening of the "Handbook of Anæsthetics" introduces the
growing significance of safe anaesthesia in surgical practice, highlighting advances that have minimized its risks and emphasizing the importance of skilled anaesthetists. The initial sections—comprising the contents, introduction, preface, and the start of several chapters—outline foundational topics such as the physiological effects of anaesthetic drugs, the relationship between anaesthesia and surgical shock, complications like asphyxia, and the practical aspects of preparing patients and monitoring anaesthesia. The text emphasizes the interconnected roles of drugs, apparatus, and medical expertise, and gives early attention to both theory and hands-on guidance for safe patient care.
