Rezensionen

"Easy to read.... A useful complementary text which will improve
understanding and clinical practice for training registrars and
practising anaesthetists." (Anaesthesia and Intensive Care,
November 2009)

"It is compact straightforward and easy to read and offers
valuable information.... It is obvious that the editors are
seasoned educators because the text reflects information that
satisfies the natural inquisitive nature of new trainees. This
textbook is a practical straightforward guide for residents
training in cardiothoracic anesthesia. The stated objectives of the
authors have been met by offering a text that distills the
essential knowledge ... into a succinct and well written text. I
highly recommend this textbook as an educational tool for the core
curriculum in training programs." (Journal of the American
Medical Association, December 2008)

"...this book is a prime example that a nearly 'one-man show'
can result in a fine textbook...focused, comprehensive prose and
excellent illustrations...I would recommend this text as a
comprehensive review..." (Anesthesiology)
