Practical Points in Anesthesia

"Practical Points in Anesthesia" by Frederick-Emil Neef is a manual for early 20th-century doctors, offering guidance on anesthetics like chloroform, ether, and anaesthol and detailing everything from how to start anesthesia to what to do if something goes wrong. Neef shares his knowledge on using anesthetics safely, covering important topics like getting a patient under, keeping them properly anesthetized during surgery, and dealing with problems like heart or breathing failure; he also gives tips on keeping patients safe during operations and helping them recover afterward. Aiming to teach anesthetists how to be thorough, watch patients closely, and understand body signals during anesthesia, Neef provides a step-by-step method filled with useful advice.
