Reviews
"a reference for anesthesia trainees seeking a concise resource for foundational concepts in physiology and pharmacology framed by clinical practice." "In this edition of Pharmacology and Physiology for Anesthesia, Hemmings and Talmage have curated a comprehensive resource from which anesthesia trainees could gain specialty-specific knowledge. Experienced practitioners, particularly those involved in resident education, may find that the brevity and clinical focus of the text presents an attractive alternative to other reference books on the subject. I recommend this textbook as a reference for anesthesia trainees seeking a concise resource for foundational concepts in physiology and pharmacology framed by clinical practice." --Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
