The Physics, Clinical Measurement and Equipment of Anaesthetic Practice for the FRCA 2/e (Oxford Specialty Training: Revision Texts)

I run the website [...] for anaesthesia trainees and often need to verify facts. This book is excellent to CORRECTLY understand the physical principles behind the apparatus used. I cannot comment on how useful it is for exams, and perhaps exam going candidates will hopefully write some reviews.So if you are keen to get your understanding of physics right, this is an excellent book.

I have read several books ont the same subject for studying & teaching purposes. This can be included amongst the best.

useful for the primaries and not to difficult to read.Might be too basic form some exams but good revision

I wish this book was out when I sat the primary. Patrick Magee is an examiner at the college, he gives good, fluent lectures and knows the syllabus inside out. Don't bother with Davis (the blue physics book) or the Al-Shaikh equipment book, unfortunately these two books no longer go into enough depth nor do they cover the breadth of the syllabus even though they have pretty pictures and a nice lay-out. You are better off buying one book that covers BOTH the physics and equipment aspect of the syllabus than one for each.
