"This book is a must for the novice anasethetist. It lays out everything, and I mean everything, in a structured format. When you're on call and not sure how to approach a case, this book will tell you how. The only problem is it's big,. but then I guess that can't be helped. If you thinking should I buy this book? Then don't think just buy it, you won't be disappointed."

"This latest addition to the Oxford Handbook range is a truly magic little book. It is clinically orientated (divided into preoperative and

"Anaesthetists have been crying out for a book of this type and size. With the now familiar approach of the Oxford handbooks, this pocket size but weighty tome will be welcome to young and old gasboys and girls.

The section on regional anaesthesia is particularly useful as are the emergency protocols in the inside covers. I found this to be just the sort of book to keep in my bag in theatre when an mental nudge is required. I have told all of my trainees about it..."
