The first day-to-day experience in a clinic presents every newcomer with a multitude of new tasks. Equipped with a lot of theoretical knowledge but lacking the years of clinical experience of older colleagues, providing optimal patient care in every respect is a particular challenge. Often, responsible tasks must be taken on after a short time—often alone. There is a lot to consider. In the clinic manual, the newcomer learns what is important—presented briefly, concisely, and clearly—without the theoretical burden and fine print. It serves as a rough guide before daily tasks or for quick reference in serious situations. Topics include: Anesthesia procedures: general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, combined methods; anesthetics: inhalation anesthetics, injection anesthetics, opioids, muscle relaxants; specifics in various areas.
