"… staying true to its mandate to provide solid introductory content and modernizing to keep current with available educational modalities and preferences, Basics of Anesthesia more than lives up to expectations. Therefore, it should continue to occupy the rarefied position of the primary introductory textbook of anesthesia for medical students and beginning trainees as well as the go-to text for those preparing for the written board exam or the seasoned professional in need of a focused review."
