Andrew Lawson & Harold Ellis 
Anatomy for Anaesthetists 

Jubilee edition of the classic text first published in
1963



Anaesthetists require a particularly specialized knowledge of
anatomy

The anaesthetist must know intimately the respiratory passages,
the major veins and the peripheral

nerves to deliver safe and effective pain control.

As one of the great teachers of anatomy, Professor Harold Ellis
is eminently qualified to elegantly

provide the anatomical detail required of anaesthetists. Modern
approaches to practice, including

the use of imaging to guide anaesthetic practice, add further depth
to the fine full-colour anatomical

illustrations.

Designed for anaesthetists, Anatomy for Anaesthetists
covers:

* The Respiratory Pathway, Lungs, Thoracic Wall and
Diaphragm

* The Heart and Great Veins of the Neck

* The Peripheral Nerves

* The Autonomic Nervous System

* The Cranial Nerves

* The Anatomy of Pain

Clinical Notes throughout provide the clinical context for the
anatomical detail. Designed for trainees, but of continuing
relevance to practicing anaesthetists, and now in its Golden
Jubilee edition, Anatomy for Anaesthetists provides a central
pillar of anaesthetic knowledge.
