This is the 5th edition of Update in Anaesthesia which is now sent to over 5000 anaesthetists in 100 countries. We are grateful for all your comments and suggestions and will print those of interest to other readers. This edition contains a questionnaire about your practice of anaesthesia. The answers to this will help us develop Update to be as practical as possible - we look foward to hearing from you.

Our aim is to produce an edition of Update twice a year. For a variety of reasons we have not managed to keep to this schedule, but the journal is produced as soon as a suitable mixture of articles is available. If you wish to receive the journal please contact Dr Ray Sinclair, Intensive Care Unit, Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 3LJ, UK.

We have received requests for translations of Update in Anaesthesia into Russian, Spanish and French.

This is likely to be an extremely expensive exercise but we are currently investigating ways of achieving it so that Update can reach more people.
