"This text is useful, comprehensive, and enjoyable to read. It is ideal for medical students and junior residents as it can help them organize their days on anesthesia rotations and understand essential background information. ... The text could be a handy pocket guide for staff anesthesiologists, offering some level-appropriate suggestions for teaching topics around particular cases in the operating room. All of these various uses would make it an ideal book for a departmental library." (Mullein D. Thorleifson, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Vol. 63, 2016)
