"This is a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the historical, perioperative, and intraoperative considerations in transplant anesthesia. ... targeted at those who care for patients undergoing transplant, with a focus on anesthesia concerns. It has an appropriate focus and amount of detail for residents, fellows, midlevel/CRNA providers, and attending practitioners. ... an excellent addition to the transplant literature, providing anesthesia and critical care perspectives for an area in which much of the literature is focused strictly on surgical or medical topics." (Kelly M. Collins, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
