Review quotes

"...a comprehensive workbook compendium designed to pair with the eighth edition of Miller’s Basics of Anesthesia.... Each chapter starts with an introduction with relevant subsections for the topic. The chapters are all written in bullet- point format, allowing each chapter to be read quickly and for facts to be easily referenced.... [It] is an excellent educational resource—best used as a refresher for individuals already familiar with a given topic in anaesthesia care.... Used in this context, it is a strong review book—concise and easy to absorb, Miller’s Anesthesia Review does not overwhelm the reader with extraneous detail.... Overall, [it] is a very good companion to its primary source and is particularly suitable for anaesthesia trainees looking to refresh their knowledge of the basics of anaesthesia." Review by Alexandra B. Berman and Eric D. Brumberger, British Journal of Anaesthesia, October 2025
