Customer Reviews

Very readable basic overview.

Lacking in depth of coverage, this book does not fill the need of a comprehensive reference text for the experienced practitioner. However, as a basic introduction, it is hard to beat. Excellent for residents in anesthesiology or medical students interested in the topic.
