'This is a book for the trainee to know cover to cover, dipping into relevant sections to reinforce their experience before, during and after an anaesthetic. Consultants will also benefit as it provides a highly practical approach to keeping up to date with developments in anaesthesia outside one's area of day-to-day practice.'
