"Anesthesiology: A Practical Approach, first edition, fills an excellent place in the already well-appointed Springer Anesthesiology series. While complementary anesthesia texts focus on anesthetic subspecialties or specific issues (ie, liver anesthesia or geriatrics), the text, as its name suggests, provides a practical approach to the most commonly encountered complex cases suited to the well-rounded general anesthesia practitioner or trainee."
