Wiley Jones Current European ∗anaesthesiology∗ 1985 – Yearbook Of The Euro Acad Of Anaesthesi: v. 1

The wider appreciation of research directed towards improving the management of patients under the care of the anaesthetist is foremost amongst the tenets of the European Academy of Anaesthesiology. There can be little doubt that a knowledge of current trends in research, and of the physical, pharmacological and physiological foundations underlying anaesthetic techniques is essential not only to the established practitioner but also to the trainee preparing for one of the specialist diplomas. In addition, a greater awareness amongst clinical researchers throughout Europe can only enhance the more appropriate direction of resources towards safer patient management. The Academy's Yearbook is intended to help achieve this goal by presenting summaries of papers published in relevant European journals. The summaries are grouped under the subject headings of pharmacology, clinical practice, equipment and monitoring, medical problems, and resuscitation and intensive care. Each summary will be reviewed by an acknowledged authority in the subject who will evaluate the paper's clinical significance and its applicability to contemporary practice. Articles have been selected by the editorial board which particularly reflect the wide range of important developments which have emerged in Europe in recent years.
