	Patients' Guide to Local and Regional Anaesthesia
		Regional anaesthesia means blocking the nerve supply to part of the body, such as an arm, so the patient cannot feel pain in that area.
		Spinal anaesthesia is especially useful during TURP surgery, as it allows the patient to detect side effects of the washing solution used in the bladder (it makes their vision fade temporarily) and it encourages clotting in the cut blood vessels.
		Epidural or extradural anaesthesia uses a larger volume of anaesthetic, positioned in the fat and veins further away from the spinal cord.

	Anaesthesia - Journal Information
		Anaesthesia has a very high immediacy factor - this means that articles are cited very quickly after publication, increasing the relevancy of published articles to the anaesthesia community.
		Anaesthesia has had a fantastic year; and to celebrate, the best content from 2004 is now free to all researchers.
		It was therefore with some trepidation that the Editorial Board of Anaesthesia decided to publish the Difficult Airway Society’s guidelines on unanticipated difficult intubation, even though this sort of invaluable guidance on the management of a rare condition can only ever arise from the measured deliberations of experts.

	Department of Anaesthesia
		Anaesthetists are involved with all areas of critical care medicine as well as in the care of the surgical patient prior to the operation to optimise condition and in post operative care to assist with rehabilitation.
		Monash University Department of Anaesthesia is involved with undergraduate and postgraduate education and research covering all aspects of anaesthetic care.
		In particular the Department is interested in the physiology and pharmacology of pain states and how the use of different anaesthetic and analgesic drugs and techniques in different combinations may be used to manipulate the pathophysiology of injury.

	Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: Is epidural anaesthesia acceptable at total hip arthroplasty?
		Seventy-five patients had general anaesthesia alone, of whom 29 were men with a mean age of 65.7 years (39 to 85) and 46 were women with a mean age of 63.6 years (21 to 83).
		Ninety-eight patients had general, local and opiate epidural anaesthesia, of whom 46 were men with a mean age of 65.9 years (24 to 84), and 52 were women with a mean age of 64.9 years (30 to 86).
		The only direct comparison of general and local epidural anaesthesia in THA was by Williams et al/ They showed a rate of catheterisation of 12% in men who received general anaesthesia alone compared with 67% in those who received general and local epidural anaesthesia.

		Spinal anaesthesia is not contraindicated in patients with coronary artery disease.
		Intraoperatively, spinal anaesthesia alone might be expected to confer an advantage over a combined technique due to the unloading of the heart and the avoidance of negatively inotropic general anaesthetic agents.
		Although the benefits of spinal anaesthesia over general anaesthesia with respect to cardiac morbidity reduction remain unproven, there is no reason to believe that morbidity is increased provided that there is a clear understanding of the haemodynamic effects and of the requirement for appropriate and timely intervention.

	Acupuncture Anaesthesia And the Physiological Basis of Acupuncture: Acupuncture Anaesthesia - George T. Lewith M.A., ...
		They do not consider their methods of acupuncture anaesthesia to be perfect, but they look upon it as a subject that is being evaluated and developed all the time.
		It is a safe and considerably less dangerous procedure than general anaesthesia, it is safer for the old and disabled, postoperative recovery is far swifter, it is a very cheap and simple form of anaesthesia, and the physiological functions of the body, such as the pulse rate and blood pressure, remain consistently stable during anaesthesia.
		Acupuncture anaesthesia is a fascinating application of acupuncture; perhaps, in the West, it could be used for postoperative analgesia rather than anaesthesia.

	Epidural Anaesthesia (page 1)
		Epidural anaesthesia can be used as sole anaesthetic for procedures involving the lower limbs, pelvis, perineum and lower abdomen.
		It is possible to perform upper abdominal and thoracic procedures under epidural anaesthesia alone, but the height of block required, with its attendant side effects, make it difficult to avoid significant patient discomfort and risk.
		The advantage of epidural over spinal anaesthesia is the ability to maintain continuous anaesthesia after placement of an epidural catheter, thus making it suitable for procedures of long duration.

		In addition to all these mechanical monitors, and the alarm systems built into the anaesthetic machine, the anaesthetist remains with the patient from the time the patient goes to sleep until he or she is safe and stable in the recovery room.
		Anaesthesia can be divided up into three parts: sleep, absence of pain, and absence of movement.
		For healthy patients, anaesthesia is so safe that it is difficult to measure the degree of risk any more.
