The initial printing of Miller’s Anesthesia, 9e contained a dosage error in chapter 26, "Intravenous Drug Delivery Systems," on page 771, Table 26.5 (Manual Infusion Schemes). A maintenance infusion of Dexmedetomidine was mistakenly reported as 0.3 – 0.7 mcg/kg/min instead of 0.3 – 0.7 mcg/kg/hr (or 0.005-0.015 mcg/kg/min). As of October 2, 2020 all stock has been corrected. If you find that you have a book with this error please contact publisher for correction sticker.

Review quotes

"...Miller’s Anesthesia remains relevant through its resolute commitment to providing practical, accurate, and up-to-date knowledge. In our opinion, this updated reference is worth both the monetary and shelf-space investment for the trainee or practicing anesthesiologist. The book is arguably among the definitive anesthesia references and its latest iteration consciously adapts and evolves, cementing its importance to the anesthesiology community." — Eryn L. Thiele, MD and Edward C. Nemergut, MD (Department of Anesthesiology, University of Virginia Health System), Anesthesia & Analgesia, June 2020
