Reviews

"There is ... no equal the the breadth of coverage or authority of this text. Although the textbook and website are expensive, every academic anesthesiologist should purchase them, and anesthesiologists in every practice should have access to the information. The many improvements in the 6th edition necessitate its acquisition even for those owning the 5th." --Anesthesia & Analgesia
