Description

Previous editions have firmly established this book's reputation as the world's most comprehensive and informative work. To ensure the clinical relevance of the new edition, the editors have painstakingly scrutinized and revised the fourth edition to accurately reflect the vastly increased knowledge and broader responsibility expected of today's practitioner. Reviews of third editionE We unhesitatingly recommend it:"The New England Journal or Medicine "The purchaser gets a lot of book for the moneyE"Anesthesia and Analgesia "If I were faced with the prospect of purchase of one title to use for reference and studyEI would choose this one over any other similar compendium of information about anaesthesia." Anaesthesia"
