"I'm a 1st year CRNA student - it is the best pharm book I have read (and I have read many). Easy to read and packed full of clinically important information."

"I have used this book over the last 9-12 months to study for my part I ANZCA exam. It is frustrating to use at times, often containing contradictory or imprecise statements. It definately contains several errors (including but not limited to the structures of sevoflurane and etidocaine). It is now becomming rather out of date (examiners often expect more up to date information than this). The chapters and sections themselves are well organised, but within paragraphs organisation is often a bit lacking.
Also, the physiology section is not particularly usefull, being too brief to be worthwhile in studying for exams.
Unfortunately I do not know of any other book dedicated to anaesthetic pharmacology that covers the topics in the appropriate amount of detail without being too massive to be managable. So we will still be forced to use it for now. Let's hope a new edition comes out soon that is much improved!!"

"I must agree with Dr. Alqasaim; this book is excellent. Diagrams are well-done, as are the chapters - en tota.
The book has two distinct sections. The first half of the book is dedicated to the subject of pharmachology, and the second, physiology. This is not a large broad-based text.
Additionally, this is not a book to take the place of the old basic science "stand-by's" like Goodman & Gilman's, or Guyton. However, this book is highly useful for review in those aforesaid subjects, as related to the practice of Anesthesiology.
Absolutely well thought-out and executed.
A must-have for your home/office medical library."
