Anaesthesia: Breathing management

Abstract

It is our intention in this series to make the basic principles of anaesthesia more understandable – particularly to those who do not have a relevant, post-basic, qualification in the subject. I hope that these articles will interest and maybe encourage you to research more deeply into the subject. In this month's piece Rachelle Griffiths, an ODP now working at Great Ormond Street, describes the basics of breathing management and provides a bibliography for you to pursue some further reading.
