Review quotes from the Previous Edition

“The book provides much more than a taste of anaesthesia. With the use of clear diagrams, photographs, and key facts boxes many areas relevant to the clinical medical student and house officer are demystified.”
SpR in Anaesthesia, Bristol in Anaesthesia Points West, September 1999

"This short, yet comprehensive Lecture Notes clearly takes the reader through the basis of anaesthesia. It is clearly illustrated with summary boxes and diagrams and the text is formatted with bullet points."
