ABSTRACT: The key to handling anaesthetic emergencies is being able to identify and manage any problems as they arise and before they present as disasters’. This requires careful monitoring, knowing what is normal for your patient and understanding which steps are appropriate to take next. This article will discuss monitoring, normal parameters, drugs, high-risk patient and recovery.
