"Anesthetic Management for the Pediatric Airway: Advanced Approaches and Techniques would appeal only to anesthesiologists caring for children with complex airway pathology or undergoing airway surgery. ... Anesthesiologists specializing in this area may benefit from having a single comprehensive resource available on the topic." (Stephen Mannion, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (6), December, 2019)

"The information in the book is solid. ... the book describes standard approaches most pediatric anesthesiologists would incorporate into their daily practice in these scenarios. The book is well written and organized, ... . There are a few color photos that are pretty basic illustrations of setups/equipment and patient disease processes."
