Review
Trainees will find this handbook useful for dipping into during their clinical practice, when faced with a procedure or problem they have not come across before. It represents good value for money. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 89 (2) This handbook is exceptional value... it is going to be much sought after in many different parts of the world... It should be in every theatre and of course every library and I am sure it will become the personal property of many busy anaesthetists in many parts of the English speaking world. Update in Anaesthesia, Number 13 Being an expert in anaesthesia and having a unique knack of placing people in a deep sleep that they barely can remember, I initially thought there was not much this book could really teach me. Well I was sorely mistaken. Barts and the London Chronicle, Vol 5, Issue 1 This book is a must for the novice anaesthetist. 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... If you [are] thinking should I buy this book? Then don't think just buy it, you won't be disappointed. Doctor from Surrey, on amazon.co.uk Whatever the reason, we all have qualms about our anaesthetic abilities being challenged and found wanting. Our first impulse is to seek advice from the local expert. With the Oxford Handbook of Anaesthesia in the change-room locker (it's half-life on a bookshelf would be a matter of hours!) there is expert advice available at any hour. Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol 30, No 5 This is the most comprehensive handbook I have encountered... This is a book with strong applicability for trainees and experienced clinicians. I expect to continue to use it frequently. Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia This is an exceptional book, which I believe will become the anaesthetists 'Bible'. Anaesthesia As the name suggests, the book is relatively compact, but still packs a punch. GKT Surgical Society website

Review
This is a book for the trainee to know cover to cover, dipping into relevant sections to reinforce their experience before, during and after an anaesthetic. Consultants will also benefit as it provides a highly practical approach to keeping up to date with developments in anaesthesia outside one's area of day-to-day practice. (
