Reviews
'... recommended core addition to hospital, medical center, college, and university library Health/Medicine instructional reference collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of medical students and hospital medical team members.' James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
'This book is a well-executed collaboration of topics, interweaving meaty scientific concepts with clinically applicable uses. The uniformity of diagram design and chapter layout helps knit the book together and coupled with a balanced writing style and well-titled paragraphs, creates a straightforward, engaging read. For the FRCA or FFICM candidate, this book would be immensely valuable but almost anyone involved in administering anesthesia or in critical care medicine would benefit from reading this book.' Christine F. Wood and R. Ross Kennedy, Anesthesia & Analgesia
