I Believe That New Residents In Anesthesia Would Also Be An Appropriate Audience For This Book. The Author Is A Consultant Anesthetist At Hope Hospital In Salford, And He Is A Credible Authority. The Illustrations Are Clear, Pertinent, And Appropriate In Number. The References Are Current And Appropriate. The Book Is Well Organized And Easy To Read With Good Use Of Charts, Flowcharts, And Illustrations.
