Synopsis

This "venerable introductory anesthesia text" (Anesthesia & Analgesia, review of last edition) conveys essential concepts of safe anesthesia practice to those beginning the study of anesthesia. The New Edition also serves as a concise review of important clinical issues for more experienced practitioners.
Reviews of the Last Edition:
"An accurate, concise, well-documented and highly readable text...the premiere beginner's text since its inception...should continue to generate its well-deserved popularity with medical students...residents, and those physicians in other specialties who require a survey of the field."
--Anesthesia & Analgesia

"Well-crafted chapters detailing the 'how to' aspects of anesthesia practice...The new editors have transformed a good work into something even better."
--JAMA
