This book has been designed primarily to serve two major roles; firstly to act as a companion to Textbook of Anaesthesia edited by A.R.Aitkenhead and G.Smith, and secondly to provide examination practice at multiple choice questions (MCQ) for the FCAnaes Part 1 examination. This text attempts to provide cross references to a large amount of material in Textbook of Anaesthesia, thus readers should be able to test themselves on how well they assimilate information and concepts at a level appropriate for the FCAnaes Part 1 examination. The multiple choice examination question paper represents a major hurdle for many candidates undertaking higher examinations and this text aims to provide suitable reading material for anaesthetists studying for the FCAnaes Part 1 examination. The first four sections of the book each contain 100 questions and the two final sections contain mock test papers of 60 questions on a range of subjects in the format of an exam paper.
