From the reviews: This is a handbook on the perioperative and critical care of neurosurgical patients. The purpose is to provide a quick reference for all healthcare professionals who care for neurosurgical patients, in both the perioperative and critical care setting. ... Although written for a broad audience, from students to attending physicians, it is most appropriate for nurses and beginning residents. (Daniel S. Rubin, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2012) Essentials of Neurosurgical Anesthesia and Critical Care ... is a most valuable addition to the library of all neuroanesthesiologists and to departmental libraries for residents' perusal and board preparation. Chapters are short, concise and well written. There is some overlap, which is to be expected, but even then the topics are addressed from different perspectives. The book will not fit in a back pocket but could find a place in the drawer of the anesthetic machine. It is certainly excellent value for the money. (Elizabeth A. M. Frost, Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, Vol. 24(4), October, 2012)
