A key requirement of the primary and final FRCA examinations is a sound understanding of the basic sciences behind anaesthetic practice. It is important to be able to describe these principles clearly, particularly in the viva section of the examinations. This fully updated new edition of a key title in the field of anaesthesia provides all the important graphs, definitions and equations which may be covered in the examinations, together with clear and concise explanations of how to present them to the examiner and why they are important. Packed full of precise, clear diagrams with well structured explanations, and with all key definitions, derivations and statistics, this is an essential study aid for all FRCA examination candidates.

This concise book was very effective in explaining the most repeatable points in mcq question of FRCA

I hope if there was a textbook with the same simplicity covering all other topics and giving much more details

One of my books to prepare to paper 1 of EDAIC first part

A must have for the primary

Everything you could need for primary FRCA (bar a teeny bit of physiology - strongly recommend chambers - basic physiology for anaesthetists to fill in the gaps) All graphs clearly explained. Best book for the primary.
