Preface.- Preface to the first edition.- Part I. Let's start.- A little math we will need... and a clinical application immediately.- Part II. Gases, bubbles and surroundings.- Perfect coffee and oxygen cylinders: the ideal gas law.- Boats, balloons, and air bubbles: Archimedes' principle.- Air bubbles in the blood sample: better or worse oxygenation? Dalton's law and Fick's law.- Cold, sparkling drinks, and blood gas analysis: Henry's law.- Bubbles, tracheal tube cuffs, and reservoir bags: surface tension and Laplace's law.- Part III. Fluids in motion or at rest: masks, tubes, invasive pressure measurement, and hemodynamics.- Continuity equation and Bernoulli's theorem: Venturi masks, Hemodynamic instability, and Echocardiography.- From tubes and catheters to the basis of hemodynamics: the Hagen-Poiseuille equation.- Toothpaste, sea deeps, and invasive pressure monitoring: Stevin's law and Pascal's principle.- Part IV. Heat, temperature, and electric current: hemodynamic monitoring and more.- Heat, cardiac output, and what is the future: laws of thermodynamics.- Electric current, Ohm's law, circuit elements: hemodynamic monitoring, temperature probes, platelet function testing, and defibrillators.- Part V. Forces in action.- Doors, steering wheels, laryngoscopes, and central venous catheters: the moment of a force.- Friction, trigonometry, and Newton's laws: all about Trendelenburg position.- Part VI. Inhalation anesthesia.- Physics in a Vaporizer: saturated vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, and Thermal expansion.- Part VII. Electromagnetic waves and Optics.- Light, air pollution and pulse oximetry: the Beer-Lambert law.- Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves: Blue Skies, Cerebral Oximetry, and Some Reassurance about X-Rays.- Sunsets and Optical Fibers: Fermat's Principle and Snell's Law.- Part VIII. Sound waves, resonance, ultrasonography.- Origin and propagation of sound, Resonance: the Voice of Xenon... and something more on Invasive Pressure Monitoring.- Ultrasounds and Doppler Effect: Echocardiography and, again, Hemodynamic Monitoring.- Action movies and Echocardiography: the Nyquist theorem.- Part IX. And Finally.- Activated clotting time and... A brief look at Relativity.
