Introduction: Emergencies and anaesthetics with limited resources

The reality is that many of you are posted in clinics where you have limited drug choices and resources to work with. This can be extremely frustrating as at Onderstepoort you are taught gold standards. Being prepared and knowing how best to utilise the drugs that you have will go a long way in helping you feel ready for any situation. At the end of the day, you will need to do the best with the hand that you have been dealt. We want to help you feel confident with this hand!
