»Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Target Controlled Infusions is a traditional textbook that bills itself as a comprehensive guide to the subject. ... this textbook form part of the reference collection of all anesthetic department libraries. It is a high-quality volume, well bound with excellent color illustrations, printed on thick paper, and is a worthwhile purchase. ... Those that take the time to read a good portion of it will be richly rewarded in their increased understanding of TIVA.« — Timothy G.
