WFSA PaedsUpdateContents

With the permission of the WFSA, I have been working on translating the PDF documents of the UPDATE in Anaesthesia (for paediatrics) into html so that they are much more easily read/referenced on hand held devices (e.g., iphone).

This page is under construction, converting the originally formatted pdf from the WFSA site with wiki embellishments.

(☑ indicates completed conversion to html/wiki)
