Appendix
Index
"In this age of emphasis on evidencebased veterinary medicine the
authors fulfill their intention to expand this theme. However,
opinion of such experienced anaesthetists should not be discounted;
while there is more evidence than opinion than in previous
editions, when evidence is sparse, the common sense advice from
these authors is well founded. The layout is attractive and easy to
use, and the book covers both general principles and practical
advice. It should be on the shelves of every veterinary practice
and in every student's library." Reviewed by: Polly Taylor. Date:
25/07/2014 'The before, during, after, how and why of every
anaesthesia is clearly explained in this thorough "anaesthesia
bible. The different anaesthetic methods are described in detail
and, in the second part of the book, species specificities are also
taken into account. No doubt this will be a reference throughout
your professional career, whatever path you follow'. Reviewed by:
