Anaesthetic Trivia - Curare
Curare is a compound used for dart poisons by tribes in South America. It is derived from vines such as, Chondrodendron tomentosum and Strychnos toxifera. The first non-depolarising muscle blocking agent, d-Tubocurarine, was identified in 1935 by Harold King. It was found in curare that had been packed in hollow tubes.

Edition: First Authors: Mills, Maguire and Barker Description: The Final FRCA examination is an essential qualification for every anaesthetist wishing to practice anaesthesia as a consultant in the UK. Several books deal with the written and basic science viva component of the FRCA Final, but none deal specifically with the clinical case/scenario part of the viva examination. This book has been designed to fill this gap and offers not only well-researched, relevant and carefully constructed scenarios (both long and short cases), but also invaluable advice on preparation for the clinical vivas, based on the authors' recent experience.

... Not a particularly good book, and much is directly copied from Pollards FAR superior Clinical Anaesthesia text; with without the detail. OK it is smaller and cheaper; and it has a dozen long cases at the back which are worth a read; but beg, borrow or steal - don't waste your cash! |
