From reviews of the First Edition:
"…an excellent resource for the student wanting a deeper understanding of what is essentially a post-graduate subject, for example, an elective student." --British Journal of Anaesthesia
 
"This is an excellent introduction to the specialty for third-year medical students, covering a broad range of material at a sufficient depth to be useful, and providing a good structure for a comprehensive course of self-directed study." --Doody's Review Service

"The writing style is uniformly strong, which makes the book easy to read.…[It] serves not only as an excellent resource for students and other learners seeking an introduction to anesthesia but also as a platform for teaching the basics. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of teaching departments." --Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
