- Abstract
Many countries (and populations) all over the world currently find themselves in armed conflict situations. The administration of anaesthesia in these situations is difficult, challenging and may be limited, in terms of drugs, equipment and facilities. This review highlights some of these potential difficulties, as well as the effects that working in a conflict zone may have on anaesthetists.
