About this title

Synopsis

272 pages.9 x 6 1/2 x 1 in. These essays are not simply dry, historical documents, listing the advances in anaesthetic practice since its beginning. They are entertaining, well-written chapters, critically evaluating each contribution to the science of anaesthesiology and providing a proper historical perspective, frequently with controversial and unusual results. It provides an invaluable survey of anaesthesia, as well as a worthy monument to the skill and knowledge of Dr. William Stanley Sykes.
