Physics For The Anaesthetic Viva

A concise book that conveys the essential physics concepts required to pass the FRCA viva examinations, with relevant applied questions.

Volume one of this two-volume series covered the physiology, pharmacology and statistics as appropriate to the basic science part of the FRCA Primary examination. Volume two covers the remaining parts of the syllabus: physics, measurement, safety, and clinical anaesthesia. The book provides the examination candidate with a comprehensive collection of over 200 commonly asked viva questions in these key areas as well as model short answers, supported with clear line diagrams where neccessary.

The definitive guide to this part of the FRCA exam.

The FRCA examination relies in part on a sound understanding of the basic sciences (physics, physiology, pharmacology and statistics) behind anaesthetic practice. It is important to be able to describe these principles clearly, particularly in the viva section of the examination. This book provides the reader with all the important graphs, definitions and equations which may be covered in the examination, together with clear and concise explanations of how to present them to the examiner and why they are important. Particular attention is paid to teaching the reader how to draw the graphs. This is an aspect of the examination which can be overlooked but which, if done well, can create a much better impression in the viva situation. 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.

A quick reference to basic science for anaesthetists, containing all the key information needed for FRCA exams.
