“This textbook easily meets the criteria to be an authoritative, clinically relevant, comprehensive, and practical reference for transplant clinicians, including anesthesiologists, intensivists, nurses, physician assistants, and trainees. The content is well researched, organized, well written, and is largely evidence based. This resource presents a formidable alternative to similar available reference works in adult solid organ transplantation and may be considered a valuable addition to a departmental or personal educational collection.” (Roman Schumann, Anestesia & Analgesia, Vol. 125 (6), December, 2017)“This textbook is truly a multidisciplinary collaboration of perioperative transplant management, offering a balance between relevant science underpinning clinical care and expert clinical insight. … I would recommend thisbook to all clinicians caring for patients undergoing organ transplantation. Dr. Starzl concluded that ‘this book would serve as an authentic reference’ for both the novice and experienced clinician. I think he was right.” (Sonja Payne, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, March, 2017)“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)
